Have you ever used Google Maps ? Report back when you have.

Crappy programmers are safe. I need to be protected from the competent
but evil ones. Once they're safely sandboxed, then I'm also happy for

If you really need to, then just let things run on trusted sites, with
non-crappy programmers (Google Maps might be a good start).
