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:

definitely.
can u capture a specific moment by stitching more than 1 image taken at different times?
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah missed the non-panoramic use of wide-angle lens. Any other uses? 
do not understand what is your question.Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah missed the non-panoramic use of wide-angle lens. Any other uses?
some even used 14mm on full frame for panoramic stitched photos... what does it tell you?
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.

stitching is very troublesome. (to me at least)
on the field, need to take several photos. at home, need to do the stitching.

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.
