I've been in both camps and personally feel my beers are better now just using a primary. If I plan on aging for a long time (months) then I rack to secondary but I almost always do 3 week primary. The longest I've gone is 5 weeks in primary personally but I'm sure you can go even a few weeks longer w/o any problems. Like Brent said, temp is key.
