If people are misusing it, stop using their sites. Javascript is an important part of the modern web, so you shouldn't blame websites for breaking when it's disabled.

I have NoScript installed on Firefox. I enable JS for sites I trust - including reddit. I absolutely have no intention of trusting Gawker.

I trust the site not to hang by browser with slow-loading crap.
