Even if it were deprecated, I would probably keep using target="_blank" it as long as it worked.
I feel that an attribute that says, "Hey, web browser, it would be great if you opened this thing in a new window, tab, or whatever" is fundamentally superior to binding some JavaScript code to the link's click handler.
