I can't say if you're the only one. I used to use two spaces when using a typewriter, but I've been in publishing for a long time and have gotten into the habit of hitting the space bar once. Typesetting since the early days leaves a variable distance between the last letter of a sentence and the first letter of the next sentence. The double space is a relic of typewriter days when every letter took up the same space on the page. Most typesetting programs now adjust the space between the last letter of a sentence and the first letter of the next sentence according to aesthetics and readability. You can put in two spaces, but most program recognize this and adjust the spacing appropriately.
