The Use bcrypt rant comes up on HN a lot, but I've actually never seen a website that uses bcrypt or PBKDF2 in the real world. Hell, I rarely encounter developers or admins who even know what it is. I doubt it was more than md5+salt, but maybe.
Edit: I should clarify - there certainly are examples of bcrypt being used, and I know there are tools available. But pick several random websites that have forums or user accounts and the number actually using it will be very small. That has been my experience once exposed to the code/infrastructure anyway.
