No, I don't use quotas. I doubt the majority of FreeBSD users do.
I don't either, but "the majority of FreeBSD users" is a shifting
thing, and very hard to make generalisations about. Once quota was
about shell users, now it's more common for mail servers to manage
storage quotas in a more appropriate way according to their storage
mechanism and there are less shell users due to more convenient and
"user friendly" networking applications that provide functionality
that can be more easily secured.
Quotas are now used more often with samba than anything else, and of
course it's use has skyrocketted in recent years for obvious reasons.
So who knows...
Quotas are important to certain mail servers as you mention, and they
are also very important for webhosting. Hosting solutions such as Plesk
utilize quotas. As we all know, fbsd has been the OS of choice for
webhosting, lets not let that slip away.
