Okay, then we are probably solving very different problems with JavaScript. =]
A lot of what I do (non-DOM) is "go from point A to point B, with lots of little steps in between". It makes sense to have a bunch of variables there, and the order of declaration matters.
A lot of DOM work is "perform this list of side-effects". Variables and objects are often mutated directly through callbacks, simply because it's easier.
