Well behaving sites end up on your whitelist. Everything else gets tossed into the "yet another bloated crap page" bucket.
All considered it's an interesting developer experience and the sites I work on keep working even if some scripts don't load.
It depends on what sites you browse. I don't do any social, use google or any other crap, so it's enabled to 0 internet sites with no problem.
If I need to activate it I have a shortkey (vimperator) that opens a new firefox profile (private and prepared to load crap) for the current site so I don't load any terrible UX in my default profile.
NoScript, ublock and SDC are a must for the current state of Internet. It's like drop the garbage out the window than in the garbage bin, you need to put care into it. :)
