I got into the habit of using ;s to avoid having "my feelings hurt" by JSLint:

    Problem at line 1 character 10: Expected ';' and instead saw '(end)'.

Dropping semicolons also breaks a good deal of minifiers.

No, it really does not. Try it on any minifier that actually parses the JS and not some subset of the language.
