Don't believe the posters who tell you
that leaving them in is a sign of sloppy work or an affectation --
plenty of fine craftsmen leave them in (pick up a copy of FWW and look
at half of the work there, or any work by Chris Becksvoort).

I don't recall any work by Chris Becksvoort that used visible
dovetails (ie not just drawers) and had the marking-out lines visible.

http://www.chbecksvoort.com/tbeckdiff.html from his own website
(second photo from the top). Shows an applied molding on a
traditional case; the scribes are right on the top surface of the
case.

Not just him, either:

Lonnie Bird: FWW July/Aug 2004 p67 (Pennsylvania tall clock, sides
around the clock face)
Chris Gochnour: FWW Mar/Apr 2004 p36 (traditional tool chest, left on
all corners)
Michael Pekovich: FWW June 2004 p49 (base of chest of drawers)

In the June 2003 FWW on page 39 there's an interesting photo: a flush
drawer with scribes retained, and a lipped drawer with them removed.
The intent of the photo is to contrast different styles.
