All depends, while it's more aggressive driving, knowing how to utilize oversteer and your vehicle's power can prevent certain types of accidents, especially in low traction settings. But yes, in most conditions you won't be wanting the rear end locked and/or engaging in oversteer.
Coming from a 2WD truck background, using oversteer/drifting techniques is both super fun and sometimes a must.
