Answer 1

Whether you should be worried about this really depends on what sort of website you are creating. For instance, if you're creating a rich javascript app, you have to ask yourself if it's worth your time & effort to worry about javascript disabled browsers, as these users are probably not too concerned with using rich user interfaces anyway. Also do you have time to put in the extra work for these browsers as there will be little extra traffic and profit gained (if it's profit making website).

Also note that if javascript is disabled in these user's browsers, there will be much on the web these people cannot use. So in all likelihood they're not heavy users.
