I can understand why people don't use it or don't feel comfortable using it because they didn't grow up with it (myself included), but I don't understand the elitist attitude. It's just a natural progression of language in light of English not recognizing the second person plural. If one were to use "y'all" or "youse" in a second person singular context , then I agree, that sounds uneducated.
