Who Still Uses SP_ for Naming?

An interesting post recently from Chad Callihan on the reasons why someone shouldn't use sp_ to prefix their stored procedures. This is advice that I've seen for years, but I haven't run into this lately with many customers. It seems I do see some usp_, but not sp_. I think that's good, and if you're not sure why, read Chad's post.

I think my main reason for not doing this is that I sometimes create procs in master. Not because it's a good idea (it isn't) or I want to, but because I'll make mistakes. I'll accidentally connect to master and deploy a script, because I'm not paying enough attention. Usually, I'll catch this right away, but if not, soon after I've told a client things are working, they'll let me know they aren't. Then I connect to the right database.
