Is Postscript still alive?

A few tears ago, when I got a new laser printer for the company, I made sure it handled Postscript, as we were still getting a lot of stuff written in it. It used to cost an arm and a leg to get Postscript capability, but I just upgraded a printer with PS for about twenty bucks.

I just think that with todays WYSIWYG word processors, TrueType fonts, and PCL, a printer can handle just about anything. I realize that Postscript is (used to be?) the lingua franca of the UNIX and professional publishing worlds, but other than that, is it used much any more?
