Not on my site, and not with my users. Personally, I don't use them,
but I know for a fact my user base loves them, once they're clued into
their existance. And I have little to no trouble with sites accepting
them. Of course, I'm careful to keep my digests under 30K, except in
very rare cases.

Are you sure you aren't letting your personal attitude towards digests
color how you think your users view them?
