Although I may often say things to the contrary, I don't actually advocate the outright elimination of JS or Flash world-wide (hell, I've even used them myself *where appropriate*). But, the problem is, *most* of the uses of JS and Flash that are out there fall into the "bad" category. And because of that, I find that the tiny handful of good uses are just not enough to justify me keeping them enabled in my browser. And that *would* be perfectly fine, but literally about half of the web is broken/inaccessible when you have JS and Flash disabled, despite there being absolutely no good reason for that. And *that* is my real main complaint.
