Ours are close to the house so we cut them right back every February. They always come back very nicely.
I can understand not being so brutal to those well away from the building but, even then, it's a matter of personal choice.
Likewise, we leave our palm fronds on even when they are "hanging low" and the bushy effect is very attractive (plus it helps prevent frost damage to the crown).
The only downside is that every passing "gardener" feels the need to ring our doorbell and inform us how useful he could be :-)
