Landscape fabric used as a weed barrier in mulch beds?

OK, what do y'all think about laying landscpe fabric under mulch to prevent weed growth? I get asked this question frequently and logically it makes some sense. However, practically I find that the fabric does little if any good in preventing weed growth as most of the weeds germinate in the mulch that's above the fabric. Additionally, if you ever have to go back to plant anything else, you have to deal with the fabric. What do you think?
