Some of us still use it, but we tend not to recommend it to anyone - it has become fairly obscure and, to be honest, lots of webpages suck pretty hard when viewed through lynx. I find it particularly handy though as a route around some firewalls. If I find myself on a machine where HTTP requests are filtered or published, I can ssh to a machine where they're not and use lynx from there. Bear
