I use taxis a fair bit, actually -- particulartly in the winter. Financially, it's a better deal for me than a car because I can claim cab fare as a professional expense on my tax return.
In this silly town where I live, taxis are unpractical because there are so few of them it is impossible to waive them down the street. It takes up to 30 mins wait if you just call for one. This was initially one of the thing that made me look seriously into bike for getting around town.
