I'm sceptical they're used at all) I guess you're right. Personally, I tend to start my journeys in self compiled kernel land by using something I know that works as a starting point. Ie, I use some distribution's kernel, notice that things seem to mostly work, and use the .config of that kernel to start exploring whatever it is I'm interested in. I can't remember ever feeling the urge to use some defconfig to start these journeys.
