Probably not too much anymore, but when I first got interested in folk music and started learning the guitar (early 50s), a capo was considered an abomination and a sure sign of someone who couldn't be bothered to learn more than a few chords. In fact, I kept hearing it referred to as a "cheater."

For the most part, those days are gone because most people know better, but one still hears in from time to time, even right here on Mudcat.
