I think there are a lot of people that use them daily and keep their porcelain / metal dishes for TG and X-mas. I worked with a guy - a bachelor - he had only one-use paper and plastic silverware and dishes / cups. His cabinets were neatly filled with them just like a regular kitchen. He lived in a very nice home with a full kitchen and a dishwasher.

I have visited several families and ate at their house where on regular dinners, only paper plates were used.

Personally, I dislike paper plates. I reluctantly started using them when camping, as doing the dishes is a PITA in the woods.
