If one would use it just to get a better grip on the body or because it makes the camera look 10 times cooler that's a whole different story though!

Don't forget the sound of the autowind, I love the sound of an autowinding camera. It was the sound of the future/being a 'professional' in the days of manual wind cameras

Sorry, I know it's been used for sports etc. - I meant "who does use these in this day and age".
Sure people worked with them back in the day because it was all they had.
But it seems kind of silly (and very very expensive) to "shoot sports" with an analogue camera and a winder that gives you one or two frames per second.
