Comment(by ancientmariner):

 Who are the users of Tor? Are they computer savvy people who understand
 the function and purpose of these Addons? Or are they average non-tech
 people who want privacy while surfing the Web without having to understand
 many details? It's important to identify who exactly Tor is supposed to
 serve before deciding what Addons the Tor browser should have.

 NoScript is a pretty complicated Addon and while it's easy for the savvy
 computer user, I think it would be a little overwhelming for the average
 person. Most ads on the web use Adobe's Flash so Adblock Plus would
 probably weigh down the browser unnecessarily since Flash is not included
 in the Tor browser in the first place.
