It's not just the page author you should be worrying about -- the page
compiler is affected as well. Pages with no scriptlets allow the compiler
to create much better executable code (including lifting the 64k limit on
method size that really affects pages with lots of custom tags).
Personally, I prefer the JSTL syntax for stuff like this:
<c:set var="varName" value="${requestScope.httpParameter}"/>
