It's quite rare now that I need to fly long legs visually outside of the area I know extremely well - but on those rare occassions, yes I do still use the flight computer.

I think I am probably in the minority, but I'm certainly not the only one who still uses it. Once you know how to use it, it is very easy. I also like the fact that it is visual, making it easier for me to spot errors than many digital tools, it doesn't need batteries - and, most important, I already own it, so there's no need for me to spend money on another tool.
