I do! Though I realise the point wasn't about individuals. I use Xt and Xaw for basic remote display and remote menu stuff for simplicity and portability, in particular for clean/new systems.
The extra gui toolkits just added extra layers of indirection, at a cost of large sets of extra package dependencies, some scary-scale bloat, and some rather annoying technical issues when trying to statically compile or strip the executable.
Horses for courses I suppose. And the old-person attitude of preferring something that takes less than a week to copy over a modem link or can fit on a floppy disk, preferably both. I know the icon says Windows User but it fits my 'what is this newfangled nonsense' too :)
