No offense taken (at least not by me :-).

I don't think it can really be known how widespread it is, but what you 
can say is yes it's done, though maybe not as much as it is in other 
types of programming, or in quite the same way.

We'd have to speculate on the reasons for that, which you can do.

My experience does suggest that it's not always going to be a worthwhile 
investment of effort, but that when it is worthwhile it can be very 
worthwhile.

Cheers,
Wendell
