How many folks are still playing/running 3e?

I am playing in a bi-weekly Pathfinder RPG campaign. We started with the Beta and have moved on to the final rules (which are awesome). Right now I don't think anyone is using any 3.5 stuff, but that's largely because we are getting used to the new rules and having fun with an "out of the book" campaign. I'm sure we will eventually add lots of other stuff.
I'm also in a very irregular Call of Cthulhu game using the Chaosium rules.

Let's see... I'm currently playing in both 3.0 and 3.5 campaigns, plus running PF Beta in FR and Golarion; I'm going to convert my own games to PF RPG, and I guess the same will also happen to the campaigns I play in. These days I'm buying a lot of Paizo stuff, and so far I haven't regretted a single purchase...

I'm running two monthly games, one 4e, and one 3.5e, as well as a 4e game at work during lunch breaks.
The 3.5e one has been going on for two years (we are level 10, gestalt), and is more like 3.75e now. I use 4e stuff behind the scenes, to make monsters more interesting and easier to create, and am starting to use it for the NPCs too. The latest big, plot-quest items also have a 4e feel to them, having at-will, encounter and daily powers. And, some items the party have have also been 4e-ed. (a knockback bow, normally 3/day, has been changed to 1/encounter; a set of armour that casts 'blur' 3 or 5/day is now 1/encounter).
I won't admit to it being more than 3.75 until the horrid BAB / iterative attacks and the crazy number of spells for casters are both gone
I also run some games online, with 3 out of the 8 being 3.5e. These, too, have been going on for some time, and I would be happy to convert them to 4e, if only the players would all agree Better to keep players than to change editions. For the moment.
Book-wize, I allow pretty much all WotC books, as long as people don't go crazy building seriously over-powered characters. The Book of Nine Swords is one I happily exclude, apart from games where it is already accepted that characters are going to be over-powered, as it is a significant step up from the general playing field.

Technically I still am, at least in that we never switched to using the 3.5 core trio, but have been using pretty much any other 3.5 book as PC or DM material as wanted. My players didn't want to switch from 3e to 3.5 mid-campaign, and the option was entirely theirs.
All of us were still in college at the time, and money was tight and cynicism was high, so we stayed with 3e. When 4e dropped, they had the same option as well, but that one didn't even go to a vote, because they laughed with an undertone of violence.
Next campaign I'll be using Pathfinder rules, and probably running a Planescapey sort of Golarion planar campaign.

Yep, still running 3.5. I have various Paizo subscriptions to infuse some fresh blood into the game though honestly I have not run a lot of their modules. I have used many bits and pieces, however. I also have been using Dungeon Crawl Classics and old Dungeon Magazines. I'm going to get at least the first few Pathfinder rulebooks and possibly mine them for house rules.
