To crimp or not to crimp

Just looking for opinions and personal experiences about when a crimp is or isn't needed with rifle loads. In the last year since I've taken up reloading, I haven't crimped a single round. It hasn't caused me any problems, my ammo is accurate once I figure out what the rifle likes, and I've never had a bullet come out of the case if I chambered it and then cycled it out without shooting it.

So what (if anything) am I missing out on by not crimping? When should I be crimping and how much?
