Nowadays with stitching, it is easy to get panoramic photos. With photo stitching, it the photos are not taken from a point but along a line, there will be less distortion. So is wide angle still useful? :think:

Perspective. A wide angle lens exaggerates distances and makes things look further away. The effect that the subject looks larger wrt background; Distances look longer; spaces look bigger.
Timing considerations. Imagine capturing a sunset which is changing by the seconds.
First you have to say how many mm is your wide angle taken in consideration. On a P&S the extra wide gives you ability to take group pictures within confined spaces.
16-18mm on 1.6x crop is not that wide. If you are thinking whether to keep say a 10-20mm lens, then I would say 10mm may be too wide.
