Hi Clive,
I think the guiding principle is always - does it help or hinder the students' learning. Often it helps, sometimes it hinders. You'll find an article discussing the pros and cons on the ELT Notebook, here.

Thanks Sue,
I'll read that over the weekend and get back to you with some thoughts.
