Do you still bracket your photos?

Question

Do you find that bracketing your photos is still in general a good practice, or has photo editing software greatly reduced the need for this?

How To Bracket
(Why You Should) Bracket Your Important Photos

Answer

I'll put it this way: I've often regretted not bracketing, but rarely regretted bracketing.

Meters still make errors, and data which exceeds the dynamic range of the sensor is gone forever, regardless of post-processing software. I recommend bracketing any images which have complex lighting or any particularly important images, certainly until you understand very well how your meter behaves in the situation.

The alternative is chimping and checking the histogram, which provides immediate feedback but slows the shoot and is prone to error (as the histogram shows data processed as if for JPEG even if you're shooting raw).
