I'm not actively not using doctype. I predate doctype by many years,
so most of my pages started without one, and I've found no need to add
one.

Most of my HTML is so simple that the doctype makes little, or no
difference.

At the end of each year, I have to justify what I've been doing to my
manager. He's unlikely to get excited by "I changed a few thousand
webpages to be syntactically correct; you cannot see any difference". 

However, "I wrote a process which should bring in an extra £1million
per year, but cut some corners along the way" would have him beaming
(on both counts). 

Incidentally, these are real life examples.
