Fight the Powah! You are not alone. I also used the Weapon vs Armor adjustment table both as a player and a DM. It has it's place, especially in a lower magic setting where weapons and armor are preeminent elements over magic. In a mid/high magic campaign it can become more of a moot issue as there is enough already there to balance encounter tacticals.

In other words, good for a Game of Thrones or Conan campaign, but probably not so much for a Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms run.
