When I worked for a company producing a software development product a while ago, we used to use Docbook for writing technical documentation.

With programs like Word and OpenOffice now being able to do the same thing for the more popular formats, I suspect not many are using Docbook anymore (besides those that still want to produce help/manual documents).
