I've used it all my life. Hell, I use it in chat rooms and on message boards without even thinking about it it's so engrained in my vocabulary. The only places I don't use it are formal letters and such that require a more prefessional English. It's not that I see y'all as unprofessional, but the wording most of the time prevents the use of it in those situations and some people do see it as an uneducated word.
