You could say that again. I bet you don't do any backups at all. Time machine has two options. The first is the location to backup and the second is directories to exclude. Ignoring cache files is one click away...
I used to have all sorts of different backup systems and even hacked my own backup system on top of time machine like in this article, but at the end of the day went out and picked up a Time Machine. It just works. Backups silently in the background and I can recover when needed. I nearly always backup over wifi and never feel it "thrashing disks" or using all my network speed. The hd's that ship with Time Machine are also pre-tested for quality so are not the cheapo hd of the week. Time Machine is also a wiki box, printer, and gig switch.
I think you're confusing Time Machine (the backup software on OSX) with Time Capsule (Apple's network backup hardware). Not a big deal but in this context it can be confusing.
