While I generally agree with your assessment of the usefulness of Javascript, it seems to me the real problem is that you either have it on or off, and when it's on to take advantage of some actually useful feature (or in my case because the site I need won't work without it), it also leaves you wide open to all sorts of abuse. As long as I'm forced to use it, it would be nice if the browser would allow me to specify which sites I'm comfortable using Javascript with, and kept it off otherwise, or at least light up a red warnining icon whenever Javascript was on. Until I have that, I'll prefer the simpler solutions, and full points to damian1301 for pointing out that one!
