I use the nice and simple HTML5 doctype, but no HTML5 elements yet. CSS3 is fair game, if some visitors see square corners and shadowless boxes it's not the end of the world. Depending on the client, of course.
I use both because cufon is HTML 5.
I use CSS3 and HTML5 in my custom build CMS, of course after making sure that everyone managing the website uses proper browser. It's a good place to start as you only have to worry about a limited number of visitors (cms users) which (in most cases) is only a few people.
My current site does not use either, but I'm working on a redesign that uses both!
I don't use it, because I can create everything I want and must with the current standards.
I could start using it when all major browsers fully support it.
Why bother with new "standards" if we still have to cope with IE6. Unless it's marketshare is under 10% it's useless to the new stuff - and most sites can be built using good old HTML 4 / CSS2 ...
I use CSS3 sometimes, but only if I know the target audience is a tech savvy crowd, likely to be using up to date browsers. For now, I'm still using xhtml and css2 for pretty much all my work.
I would love to use CSS3 & HTML5 but as stated by others before, we have to take our target audience in mind. Our target audience is quite broad but most of em use IE (7 & 8). Sometimes we even need to facilitate for IE6 too.
I'm on the same page as Marc, it's really important to go over your analytics & design for the user-base, not the latest technology.
To be honest, i cant' use HTML5 because all my clients support IE6, IE7, but i use some code in CSS3
not yet but i will probably one day, the thing is, a lot of people have old browsers so you can't do that unless you have 2 versions of the site (one with old code for the old browsers and one with the new code for those with new browsers) i know people who still have internet explorer 6....and they think its the best and dont even bother to upgrade...what can you tell to these people when they are your own bosses in the company?
In a few days time I will be releasing my company's site which was build using HTML 5 and some CSS 3.
Re: CSS3/HTML5: Unless you know your users are using the latest (standards compliant) browsers then I think it will be a while before it becomes mainstream.
I can see another "you must have the latest version" trend coming on...
In my personal website, that I'm working on now I'm using both. But at work I'm using none of them (yet.) I will hopefully be using HTML5 in our next project at work...At least for the semantic part, since it has to be IE6 compliant...
