Ask HN: target="_blank" thoughts?

I'm marking up a page right now, have a list of Twitter users to link to and am debating the use of target="_blank" without an explicit "new tab/window" icon.

I personally have no use for this anymore. If I am browsing a webpage and I want the link to open in a new tab I will do it myself, otherwise I expect it to open in the same tab.

How do others feel about this?
