Maybe we just need to clarify appropriate use cases. If title text is provided to clarify the target for link phrases of "Continue reading" and the like, then it's a good technique as the title attribute is being used appropriately to provide supplementary information. I think people's concerns are over title text that provides information that the user might not have reason to investigate, yet would benefit from knowing before following the link: like "Opens in a new window", "Flashing content", or "Will blow up your computer".
