That was then, this is now... Just bad design practice NOT to use one, I don't think you'll find anybody who will dispute that fact. Just because it worked once, doesn't mean it'll work like that every time...however, conversely, you'll have a hard time finding a PIC that won't run because one is installed (vs. one without a cap installed).
