I actually haven't read reversals since I first started tarot. Back then I misread some advice and made half my deck reversed, which made most of the spreads full of reversed cards. This stressed newbie me out both because I was already struggling to read the cards upright, and also because reversed cards seemed so "negative" that I would immediately assume the entire spread was negative as well. I almost gave up on tarot because of it.
Now that I'm more seasoned and less prone to freaking out over how a spread "looks", I've thought about re-introducing reversals to a few decks. I've definitely learned to see the reversed aspects of a card when the question or position asks for it, but I still think it'd be useful to learn how to apply them to any reading. From there I'll make my choice on whether to use reversals or not.
