In base perhaps, but "at all" I certainly hope not, I still use *roff
for everything I write (everything that needs any particular formatting).

I know I should learn TeX, but I never have, and I'm not sure the effort
would be justified any more (had I done it 15 years ago perhaps, but now??)

That is, I write letters using *roff, I write papers using *roff, I
create exams for students using *roff, ... you imagine anything that
appears on paper (code listings excepted, and even for those I use one
of the *grind scripts which produces *roff ...) and I probably use *roff
for it.
