No script blocks all scripts though so it's a tad bit extreme. They had bigger fish to fry but they finally got around to this. I'm happy they're doing it and I'm not going to complain about water under the bridge.
NoScript selectively blocks scripts on a per-domain basis, which is almost always sufficient to block the bad scripts but allow the necessary scripts on a site. The exceptions where a surrogate script (or blocking scripts by URL regex) is required are relatively rare.
It requires a lot of work from the user unlike something like ublock. It's fine for power users and hardcore privacy adherents but I would never recommend it for your general internet user as they'll just get confused.
