You're seeing more and more of it. I've tried it and my verdict is this. Some people can do it and get the look they like, and others, myself included just love to cross-hatch way too much. For me I guess it boils down to subjective standards of how you want the finished artwork to look. I know when I got into drawing comics I just loved the insane cross hatching work guys were doing and knew that I wanted to emulate it in my own work. The work done that way to me just looks uber sexy-even though on a complicated piece it can take a lot longer and may not even be noticed by anyone but me. I love it so I do it. More and more people who hire freelancers and artists to work on comics are wanting to see the ink wash style done and there is certainly nothing wrong with it. I don't think it looks as good, but that is really only an opinion and to some it probably looks better that all those crazy lines. For me I gotta stick with what I love in order to love what I'm putting out, so I'll just keep hatching.......It's never about the time spent, it's about looking at the finished work and simply loving it.....So do what you love guys!!!! All the best!
