If I was jamming with mates through a PA I would be happy plugging in my Yamaha AC3M and even using a magnetic pickup as well through a separate channel.
If I wanted a good acoustic recording I would use my condenser mikes.
I saw Bob Dylan a week or so ago and one of his guitarists was playing (at times) what looked like a Gibson acoustic and it sounded pretty "quacky" to me so I guess for live work in bands people often use the pickup for convenience.
