Well, technically the API is still available pretty much everywhere (be it directly or via a wrapper library) and most hardware still has support for drawing lines, so it is still easy in current days to do things like this too :-P.

I'm using it all the time when i want to draw lines in 3D.

(though as far as lines and OpenGL is concerned i remember reading ages ago that not even SGI's implementation had full support for everything OpenGL was supposedly able to do)

The API still exists, but in most implementations things like line styles and thickness are no longer supported.
Not sure about line styles but so far i haven't seen any implementation that doesn't support line thickness (though i only use OpenGL on desktop).
