Sure it is. Again, hyperbole doesn't really help. In fact, in many situations, an MTA doesn't do you any good, as your network won't allow it to do anything useful remotely (true now at most big companies and on most big ISPs) and local delivery goes into the black hole of root's mailbox unless you configure it. And if you're going to configure one, installing one isn't a significant extra step. Plus, since there are multiple different MTAs, this is back to your choice of fvwm vs. gnome -- if we have a default you don't want, you're going have to remove it to put in your choice.
If you do need to use sendmail, and your ISP is blocking Port 25, it's not that hard to configure things to use a smarthost. As an example, I have my own (vanity) domain and use its mail servers, over Port 587. I also have sendmail configured to use that server and port, along with the appropriate username/password. If anybody out there needs to do the same thing, instructions are at http://www.zeff.us/SMTPAuth.txt
