I must say that I'm using the video feature on my 7D quite a bit. I think it's quite handy to switch to video capture and record a scene, especially when kids are playing etc. It also reduces the number of gadgets I need to carry which is great.
Some negatives - being on a SLR though I still find it a little counterintuitive to switch from using the optical viewfinder to the LCD screen. Also, I miss the image stabilisiation that comes with the handycam - I find I have to hold the SLR rock steady - quite hard to do especially when using it in "digicam" mode.
Anyway, how about you? How much video do you capture?
