As someone who loathes formatted text I don't use smart quotes &c. I also correct smart quotes & apostrophes to straight ones in text I copy & paste. Having been around computes for a long time, I have found that copying & pasting formatted text from one piece of software into another, or into a webpage, doesn't always work. Probably not a big problem these days, but still, I prefer plain text.
