I have a whole load of them in the attic, along with the computer that goes with it. Same goes for the AT my father got the family in the very early 90s. EGA, 20 mb hard disk, DOS operated (windows 3.1 could run on the machine but was utterly useless) and 5,25" floppies. The ones that would actually flop. I have a whole load of those in the attic as well. Don't think I'll ever use them again, but I just can't get myself to get rid of them.
We used to use one exclusively for transferring data between a non-networked pc that was hooked up to one of our analysis machines at work and the computer where we process the results.
We've been using USB sticks for around three years I'd guess (so that's what I voted). I think we still have the disc in a draw in my lab. I have a box of old discs lying around here somewhere, but my current machine doesn't have a 3.5" drive. In fact it only just occurred to me that it didn't.
