I use the older version on my older browsers. The new version gave me some problems(may be better now?), so I've been trialing umatrix. Not sure which direction I'll go yet, but the real gist of your question is "Do you believe in blocking scripts", and my answer is "yes".

Many websites that require login use scripts to process the login. For people who use Noscript, what sites are on your whitelist?
Using NoScript (or another script blocker) doesn't necessarily involve blocking (or allowing) "each and every script on all sites".

I have a number of domains on my NoScript whitelist ("anandtech.com", for example), but I don't have any "website" whitelisted in the sense of allowing "all scripts" called from any/all of a particular "site's" pages. And I also have quite a few domains marked as "untrusted", so even when I "temporarily allow this page", scripts from those "blacklisted" domains stay blocked.

ETA: I also use AdBlocker. I've also tried μblock, which seems to combine both functions, but probably just because I'm not used to it, I've found it somewhat confusing. And so far anyway, the combination of NS and ABer serves my purposes. I'm not trying to pull a Gene Hackman (in Enemy of the State, that is). I just like to block at least the more blatant general-purpose trackers and ad-servers, and especially as much as possible of the resource-hogging nonsense that so many sites seem clogged up with these days, to no end that benefits me. Most sites "work" just fine with only some of their scripts allowed, and it didn't take very long to figure out which those critical scripts were, by trial and error. A very few sites act wonky without allowing almost all the scripts they try to call, but those are so rare and so non-essential, I just live with their wonkiness. (Slickdeals currently being the biggest offender, but that site has become so generally pointless I really don't care if I can't access all of its functionality or if some views/pages refuse to load properly.)

I used to use NoScript for years, I swore by it. But it has been too much of a PITA and I just rely on my highly configured Sandboxie install to block anything from touching my computer.

NoScript just blocked too many website elements even though I allowed base 2nd level domains and whitelisted all the common websites I visited. I would have all kinds of video and audio issues with NoScript. I couldn't get used to uMatrix at all. I just use uBlock.

I use Noscript at the moment. I just click "Temporarily allow" each time I visit a trusted website and I need the script functions.
