I do.
About half of my current portfolio is VTSMX, held in my 401(k). It is the only thing offered with less than a 1.5% management fee. When (not if) I convert this to an IRA, I will probably transmute this into a dividend porfolio, although I am considering the PP. I have some sector ETFs in my Roth, but eventually I will transmute those holdings into self-selected dividend stocks, which is what my taxable account contains.

So that's 5 NO and 8 YES so far... interesting and not exactly what I'd expected!
@Jacob - Thanks for the offer of a poll on the blog. I didn't take you up on it because I wanted more discussion amongst us diehards if the results went in an unexpected direction (which they did, so I'll start another thread soon for the discussion unless someone beats me to it).

+Vanguard, especially since they've made all trades in their ETFs free and stock trades $7.
