The unfortunate downside there is that such agreements are rarely fought 
against in court.

An agreement that was a non-compete on a particular scope for a 
particular duration of time is acceptable to me.  Something that is 
open-ended and has an undefined or infinite scope I would see as 
unreasonable, but those are the only such agreements I have ever seen.
