I like it. I visit classical concerts more than pop ones, but there it definitely isn't automatic, but a light-hearted "artist's choice" response to a genuinely enthusiastic crowd after the approx. 3rd round of applause. Not a given. My favourite is still when the soloist did a jazz encore and the audience swapped from "no applause even between movements" classical mode to "applaud good solos" jazz mode.
At my local symphony the crowd always applause between movements ๐ญ it doesn't really bother me too much but I do wish they'd make a polite announcement about it or something. But on the other hand I get that they don't want to make things seem stuffy and imposing.
I had a classical encore, a student orchestra doing the star wars theme as an encore. That was pretty epic.
