Can be bad. A poor nut connection could be held together by the tape.

No actual electrician I know of uses tape, and in fact they use it as a tell if work has been done DIY or licensed a lot of the time.

Everywhere I've gone they have used tape (industrial). I've even gotten bitched at for not using it.

I find where I work it's about 50/50 and I hate the guys that tape their connections.
