I'd say I write about 2 to 6 checks per year? It's the easiest payment method that doesn't come with transaction fees (eg 0.3-5% for a card; similar for app payments). So it's pretty common for higher-ticket items where the transaction fee costs much more than a check+stamp and neither party wants to eat that cost. Things like paying home contractors, property taxes, buying a car or other expensive items.
