I do, whenever I can, and whenever it fits the bill.  I taught myself Ada
several years ago and fell in love with it.  I think it is an excellent
language because it is very powerful, modular and strongly typed.  It's 
error handling features are a great bonus too.  

Admittedly, I don't always use it like it SHOULD be used because I like to
find any reason to use it... but hey...
