As a DM, I rarely if ever have my players do a map. The characters, maybe, but not the players. If something special called for it as part of a unique scenario or something focusing on the players needing to map (a maze, for example - which is rare in my games), I'd do it just for the novelty value. But as a general course of action, I don't like requiring players to map.
As a player I was recently in a game where we had to map. I was the mapper, and I don't do the graph paper thing. I do line diagrams that are somewhat roughly to scale, and thats putting it pretty nicely. My map doesn't look anything like the DM's map, but it works, and its fairly quick to map that way.
