Opinions on Javascript obfuscators, anyone?

I'm just trying to get a feel of how many people actually use JavaScript obfuscators, and I'd also be interested in your opinion on what you think about it.

Thanks.

Gary, I was thinking of making a "fat client" where all form validations will be done within the page with JavaScript. The alternative is to allow PHP to validate the form, but that might take longer depending on the traffic on the website. Also, it occurred to me that someone can just copy the page and remove all validations and submit the form.

I figured obfuscating the JavaScript might help.
