Security by obscurity has a bad reputation because it should never be used in place of a proper secure solution whenever possible.
Most security experts will argue in adding layers of defence where the proper solution is not possible.
There are other considerations for obfuscation as well. A risks assessment might consider the skill of the attacker and the resources required (eg: computational power) in order to break in.
