I've come around to this position after seeing the mess people make.
I just got a new job where I contribute to a fancy open source database. They do have unit tests. Barely. Most things are tested in SQL though. You have to build/link the whole thing to run the tests. But lots of things are plugins so it's fast enough.
If you can get away with it, this is better.
