Agree.
JavaScript is abused most of the time in my humble opinion. But it can
also be a very useful tool to bring life to a webpage.
I agree with Thomas that "Nonsense. Script-kiddies, wannabes, stupid
people, are [the enemy].".

Tip:
1) Use firefox
2) Install an add-on named NoScript.

Make your life easier if you dislike JavaScript-heavy websites.
You can adjust which domains you allow to load/use JavaScript into the
webpage you are visiting.
It is an easy to use add-on and you don't need arcane knowledge to
activate or use it.
