Yes - I still patch tubes. I keep 1 in my CamelBak and several in my gear bag. Get a flat on the trail, switch it in about 5 minutes, then repair the spare when I have a chance. I have 1 tube with 7 patches on it and still going.
Patching tubes is so easy, it's wasteful to throw out an otherwise good tube with just a pin-hole. Ripped tubes go to the recycling bin at the LBS.
I only use lightweight presta tubes since thorns are rare here in central NC. I use the same technique as Snowmobile - keep the presta stem nut tight to prevent movement, and lots of talc in the tire carcass and tube.
