The trouble is that, sometimes, the page layout can get incredibly mangled when this is done (try using parts of Macworld.com with PithHelmet). However, I also wish that the placeholders were a bit prettier (maybe a transparent white instead of dark grey), and that collapsing could be a site preference.
Also, things would be much better if OmniWeb shipped with a better set of blocking rules (PithHelmet is a good example of this, or perhaps there could be a mechanism to automatically fetch the rules for Ad-block). Right now, one has to do quite a bit of fiddling with the preferences before most ads are blocked.
