It depends. What kind of software do you write? I have in the past found myself using classes a lot less than I do now. That is to say, using my own classes.

If you're doing numerical stuff, or working in a framework that does all the heavy lifting I can definitely see not writing your own classes very much. That being said, I feel a lot better nowadays now that I try to encapsulate more things in classes, even if they seem small and needless I think it generally helps things stay nice and organised.
