 I think that is a lazy attitude.  I suppose you don't use fclose either. 
I know that some programmers get in the habit of not freeing memory because
they wish to avoid an access violation that may result when free is called
if their code does not manipulate memory properly.  You should always
explicitly free any memory that you have explicitly allocated if for no
reason other than to show that you have not made a big mess that you are
hoping will be cleaned up when the program ends.
