I used to use it in XP and also made alot of batch files. But since I upgraded to Windows 7, I don't use them any more.

I use it just about everyday while I am at work. On my PC, I rarely have a need for it unless I am messing with IP addresses.

I do most things in the Terminal, doing things via a GUI I find to be too slow.

It's good for doing things you can't do in the gui. It's also much quicker and easier to give instructions on. I use it to test lan and recover computers.

I use the terminal in my computer science class for debugging java applications.

I still use it daily whether to shutdown another computer in my house and I am just to lazy to get up and do it or to format a flash drive. I write Batch files once in a while to make tasks easier for other people in my house. Somethings are just easier from a DOS prompt and somethings are better from GUI like browsing files. I also use it sometimes when I program in C#. TO answer your question, Yes, I still use the command prompt.

I think that Command Prompt in Windows limits you too much. I prefer to use Terminal in OS X and Linux.
