Yes and yes, on a daily basis in my case. But one has to remember that cvs is good for development as it was ~30 years ago. Solo (and not very big) projects, offline, etc. Or some private todos and calendar entries which do not need to be published but need to be modified and maybe also tracked (how did I write it in version from month ago?). To many the answer would be that git is relevant and cvs is not. Good for them, but I think their talk would have been different if they had to manage their own repo by themselves. The success of git owes a lot to the fact that one can just click to get results while the (hopefully) well paid admins and devs of git(lab|hub) take care of the invisible part. In contrast to that, cvs is easy enough to be quickly understood and used by oneself.
