Yep, duct tape on mine too.- actually it's kind of convenient for the front brake, because I need to take the cable out of the caliper to pack my bike for shipping, and if it has an end cap, then I have to disassemble it a bit and have a couple of small loose parts that I'm terrified of losing. I guess I could initially cut the cable long enough to accommodate three end caps, figuring by the time I've shipped my bike three times, it's time for a new cable anyhow...
Replacing cables is pretty easy - a workstand helps a lot when it comes to adjusting derailleur cables - but replacing housings is a bit more of a pain, particularly if you're needing to change the length and figure out how long the new ones need to be, rather than just copying the length of your old ones.
