Who still used soundfonts [sf2] in 2016?

I still use both SF2 and SFZ....they don't have a big CPU hit or RAM footprint. I have no interest in Mega GB libraries or Uber synths. My kit is far from state of the art but it gets the job done.

Same here, quite decent free instruments and no need for an up to date computer.
A jazz example,

Very nice! Love those chords and your tasteful playing! Very well done!

I still use some Digital Sound Factory SF2 packs and also some from the MaxSynths Cryologic SF2 set

I've pretty much stopped using sf2 but I know people in the Linux community are still using them. The last tune I've made using sf2 is this one:

Made in LMMS using only free sf2.

That's a nice piece! I left some comments on SC.

What's LMMS?

Thanks! LMMS is Linux MultiMedia Studio, which is a Linux clone of FL Studio. It's free and I wanted to see if I could come up with something good using only this software and free soundfonts.

There is an ocean of SF2 files, but many of them are useless crap. So, the point is to find a good ones.
I used SF2's in this song, except hammond (AZR3 - free VSTi). I can't remember the names of all SF2's but I know for sure that drums are SF2 called "Ellade.sf2" and you can google it. I mean, it was done in Fruity Loops 4.16 ages ago, but I remember the name of that SF2 because I used it many, many times...
