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.
