As Mark says, there are quite a few people that don't care about PR or aren't aware of it. I normally try and "seed" a new site with some PR from a directory or other sources that don't require link exchanges.

I think when relying on PR really becomes dangerous is when links are bought from high PR sites. Otherwise, building PR = building backlinks = more traffic from other sites AND the search engines. The best idea is to build quality backlinks and also get links from sites that will bring in the traffic.
