This question will get more interesting responses if it was qualified as:

"Does anyone run Postgres without PgBouncer for non-trivial workloads?"

Because, as we can see from the comments so far, lots of people are going to say you don't need it for your blog that gets 10 hits a month.

I've personally never heard of anyone not using PGbouncer, or some connection pooling proxy, for reasonably concurrent workloads. PG's process-per-connection architecture almost requires it. Otherwise even a small connection storm will wreak havoc on your server.
