Depending on the project you may not even need that much. The internal 4MHZ oscillator is quite satisfactory for many projects (if you don't have very tight timing needs like serial comms). That leaves you needing just the SX, a 10K resistor for MCLR and a .1 cap on the power rails.

The SX can do a lot more than a few simple tasks at once. Mostly it's a matter of need and approach.

Personally, I prefer it to the Prop (though the Prop is awesome for a lot of apps) because it's cheap, it doesn't require external memory and it has a nearly instantaneous startup cycle (nanoseconds depending on the scope of the reset code).
