I am a beginner. In my shooting practice, I regard cropping as the second most important means of composition adjustment.
In actual photographic practice, however, I tend to be a rough sensualist. I don't always stick to conventional aspect ratios (such as 3:2), because within those ratios my frame always seems to contain unnecessary elements. As a result, I often use free cropping and don't care much about conventional aspect ratios. After all, I figure, except for commercial or sports assignments, how would anyone notice the difference between 3:2.6 or 5.3:3.01 and a standard aspect ratio?
