We use it at our company (financial software). One of the reasons being that the code is older than Linux and VMS was a good bet at the time.
We have almost entirely moved away from it and onto Linux but considering the decades of code and systems built on and around it, it is truly a monumental task to move off VMS while keeping a system used by very high paying clients running smoothly.
