Thank god the taxis haven't all been driven out of business. I still find it much easier to grab a taxi out of most decently sized airports and train stations than to futz around on my phone, worry about battery, type in my destination, etc. In Manhattan it's still very possible to just grab a taxi without any kind of advance planning, and again it's way easier than having to mess around on my phone.
That said, Uber/Lyft have made it impossible to get taxis at smaller airports and train stations in mid-sized cities, which I find super frustrating. There are never any taxis waiting at the Providence Amtrak station, for example.
