HELL FRICKIN YEAH I DO (the one in the viewfinder). I love it.

Horizons that are off by a degree or two really irritate me, so it is the last thing I check before I press the shutter. I don't like the in-camera horizon correction, so I make sure I get the shot right (when applicable to the situation of course. Can't always get a level street shot). Granted, I'm learning how to use Lightroom, and apparently there is a quick way to edit horizons there, but I never know about it before which is why I love the level feature.

I have used the LCD level to check if things like table surfaces were level.

Though mine is off by 3 or 4 bars, I use it very often. I have a complaint about the location of the level on the LCD screen in live view. I frequently place my camera very low to the ground and I kneel down at it. The angle is such that often I can not see the level indicator at all; it gets obscured up under the edge of the screen I guess. This is where a camera with an articulated screen would probably come in handy.
