I do use it, yes. But not for 3DS titles. If I buy a 3DS title, it'll only ever be a physical copy. I've never used the Wii U eShop.

Only for DLC, demos and little titles exclusive to the eShop.
Nintendo ties all of your stuff down to a console rather than an account, so you run a higher risk of getting borked should something happen. For that reason, I hunt down my 3DS titles rather than DL them.

I do sometimes, mostly for games that are e-Shop exclusive like Crimson Shroud or Pushmo or Virtual Console games, but I also used it to download Fire Emblem and the DLC for it. Although like most people here it seems, I'm pretty old fashioned about my games and prefer physical copies when I can get them.

The local copies of Fire Emblem: Awakening were sold out in record time (pre-order only, from what I could tell).
So yeah, I used the E-Shop. I've used it for a few other purchases, and to get my Ambassador Games.

It's not that bad of a system, though I still find the classic games to be grossly overpriced.

I don't, but only because retail tends to be cheaper here. I have no attachment to physical copies.

I download demos a lot, though.
