Not so much Cobol, but basically the only places that still use it are profitable companies set up in the early 2000's.
There's nothing wrong with it (although a lot of the time I end up writing Java as CF now compiles to it).
It just doesn't have the user base out there and most companies did the right thing and bit the bullet and migrated to "a nother" technology. In the UK this usually meant .Net
Currently I'm of the impression that we'll end shifting to Python or Java however there is a huge legacy set of code to overcome first.
