YES I DO, PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE ME :)
Jokes aside - it's still useful when you're writing legal or other documents where certain phrases or sentences must be emphasised by placing them in all caps. A hold-out from the typewriter era when bold and italics were generally not available.
I also use it occasionally for writing assembly language, where it's conventional to write the opcode mnemonics in upper case. It also helps when doing reports on the kind of spreadsheet that uses upper case keywords as a kind of primary key, because you need to interact with people who think a relational database is something to do with geneaology.
