I didn't vote because the choices didn't match me. I did go shopping on Black Friday, but I waited until evening. I had ZERO desire to get up at dawn and face crowds of shoppers. This only makes sense if you need a specific thing that is specifically on sale at a special price only in the morning. Otherwise, just wait until later in the day when the crowds thin out. The stores will likely be open all evening with everything on sale. When I was shopping last night, it was only a little busy. When I used to work retail I would always conveniently volunteer for the late shift on Black Friday, so I could sleep in and avoid wrangling with the insane people at 6 a.m.
If there is some super special item for a gift that you are worried will run out, go buy it a day or two before Thanksgiving. Stores usually have pre-Thanksgiving sales too. And, from my experience in retail, stores have good sales all the way through the shopping season. Black Friday is not even necessarily the day with the best prices.
