Just wanted to start a discussion on software development methodologies.

Are alot of people using them?

Which are the top methodologies at this point and which have the best staying power?

Is Rational Unified Process still one of the methodologies at the top and does it have staying power with all of the technological changes that have and are still emerging?

Never seen it used, ever, not once in twenty + years.

Haven't even seen UML taken seriously, even if a start is made, time pressures usually kill it, and you get down to scribbles on paper towels and Nike development (Just Do it!)

Like any off the shelf development tool, it hinders as much as it helps if you stick to it dogmatically. Do what works, stuff shelfware.
