Well for what is worth, I had been thinking on the idea for a while after growing tired of so many scripting and tracking everywhere, and I felt encouraged to make the jump and disable Javascript after reading this comment in HN (thanks bmurphy!):

To be honest, (s)he was right. But at the same time, it's disgusting, and plainly bad, to see how much of the Internet is _broken_. Which by my definition means requiring JS even to show some text and images on a web page.
I understand that more advanced features might require some scripting, but come on, I'm pretty sure that's not the case for printing some good old letters and pixels on a browser window! And still, lots of places seem to not know how to do it without dynamic code all around. (I'm not talking about this specific site, in any case. Just felt like ranting.)
