I would say this always depends on the purpose the app is supposed to fulfill. In my private projects I am using quite often Livecode Server  as the backend for my LC apps, but I had some customer projects in the past where the customer wanted an app to send out e-mails  with special  attachments, like logfiles or reports or what ever and it had to be without user interaction. 

In the days before tsNET I either used Shao Sean's e-mail library, Chip Walter's altEmailHarness or I called command line tools using shell function to get this done.
