Do you still include cover letters?

When people are applyiing to jobs currently, do they still include cover letters? I've come to the conclusion that they don't, but others have told me you always should. On one hand, it would be more work when applying and would maybe show more gumption when applying, but on the other hand could fall on deaf ears?
