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!
