Not me: I use this from time to time, but delete-selection-mode is too
intrusive for me.
Given that just right clicking twice will achieve the same thing, my
normal use case is when the mouse already went somewhere else and/or I
have returned back to the keyboard before deciding I want to delete the
marked stuff after all.
So it is not a feature I'd miss a whole lot. But I do use it
occasionally, and I abhor delete-selection-mode.
