TDD rocks if you do it well. You know what? NoTDD rocks if you do it well, too. There is no 'one true method' for development life - conditions change, and you have to be prepared to apply the right process according to the nature of the task.

If you're building something that has to be safe, say .. a life-critical system - you better be damn sure you are testing absolutely every single thing. Everything.

If all you're doing is setting up another hipstersite on the interwebs and hope to have a few million groupies soon, well .. maybe you can avoid the tests, and just wait for the support mails. That's also a valid way to get things done - if it works for you.
