The \"secret\" to using a non tilt/shift lens is that the lens must be completely level and plumb. If the lens is tilted on either plane, you will get distortion that can be very hard to get rid of in PP.
The beauty of a t/s lens is that you can tilt the lens to get the composition that you need, and then correct the distortion using the t/s feature so that you get a distortion free shot in camera.
If you are really serious about taking architectural pictures, a t/s lens is absolutely required. You might be able to get away with using a regular lens for a little while, but the t/s in invaluable for this type of photography.
+1 As the writer notes, if you are serious.
