I think [RazorbladeBidet] and [VSarkiss] summed up the reasons fairly well. However, from a sysadmin point of view, I use it quite often for formatting text to the screen. Of course, the scripts are usually my homegrown diagnostic tools and I only use <i>format</i> because other sysadmins around the office use these scripts as well. They like it purty. And, like [RazorbladeBidet] stated, it's handy for generating email as well.
<P>
All in all, I think it's still used. The lack of questions may be due to the fact that there is so little that can go wrong with it.
