Not the same as back in the '90s. Then people were being marked down on sims for using anything other than idle reverse/flap 25. It was being aggressively pushed.
The current take up rate on my fleet is about half, with the bias heavily toward runways that have it in their own noise policy. I don't have the slightest problem with it on long, dry runways. The issue is thoughtless application of any policy, no matter what it relates to.
