I agree that it does seem that less are probably learning bitwise stuff these days. Anyone that still goes the traditional route of taking Computer Science in school is still at least exposed to them though through taking an assembly/architecture course or two. I don't use them very often still despite having seen them in those courses, but every now and then I come across somewhere they might be useful.
