I use it in writing, but in speech it depends. Where the preposition at the end option is available, I use 'who'.

What about change the word "ever" into "ofen" in the queston line?

So the poll might be turned into:
Do you often use 'whom' in your daily life? Or in your written English?
a. often
b. seldom
What do you think?
