Personally I don't mind profanity. People swear in real life and for it not to exist in a book loses some realism.
However, I do think profanity needs to be used sparingly on paper. It tends to stick out more on the printed page than it does on TV or in a movie.
As a personal observation: The more I write the more I find profanity gets in the way of the flow of the dialog or narrative.
