Default Rookie question "Propellers"

Whatever happened to adjustable pitch propellers? I remember when I was flying over a decade ago, there was a lot of talk about pitch props, how one could use it to engine-brake, etc., etc. I was looking over the old Futaba 8SGAP manual, and it showed a diagram for a pitch prop. But I haven't heard anything about these things lately ... do people no longer use them?
