I've yet to meet another noscript user who demands every site should provide roughly the same experience with or without scripts. Minimally we just want a webmaster to include a goddamn <noscript> telling us why we should temporarily whitelist her domain. And when something is pure text but requires JS to see any of it (as some blogspot templates tend to behave), we'll make complaints about progressive enhancement for that particular use case.

P.S. Your link is nearly four years out of date, and I bet the percent is higher for software engineers, i.e. the target audience of this page. Hell, for just Firefox users who use extensions, a quick estimate suggests 12%. (Number of users for https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ divided by number of users of the most popular addon, AdBlockPlus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/)
