A quick search of Google code [1], Github [2][3], and Bitbucket [4][5] would indicate otherwise, IMO. For example, the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor that is included in every Wordpress installation (currently estimated at 65,787,814 sites [6]) uses localStorage for auto-saving blog posts (not exactly bleeding-edge stuff). TinyMCE also boasts some of the most successful and popular sites on the web as users [7]. And that's just one single project from the many thousands of open source projects hosted by Google Code, Bitbucket or Github.
