Readability. Python, Ruby, and CoffeeScript are more readable for their parsimonious approach to punctuation, aren't they? We like those languages, right?
Also, JS was not designed from start as semicolon-less language. If you prefer semicolon-less JS - use Coffee Script. Otherwise it is very hard to debug such code for someone who do not expect semicolon-less JS code.
If you want good example, say "shell script" instead.
