I try to still print out boarding passes when I can cos I don't want to deal with delays or missing a flight if my phone runs out of battery, especially if it's a flight out after a full day out and about. It's also less annoying at the airport fiddling with my phone to get the right barcode up each time it's needed (and no, I won't put it in to Google wallet)

I don't go out of way to print boarding passes when I'm on the road. But certainly at home, it takes maybe a minute so why not?
I stopped doing this when I realized I hadn't used a single paper one in about 50 flights.

You'll start doing it again after someone swipes your phone at the airport (yes, this still happens) and you miss your plane waiting in line to deal with the customer service agents.
I guess that depends on airport. Typically I could get a paper one printed at kiosk using ID if needed, usually 10 min or less. One of the reasons I stopped bothering.
