Yeah, lot's of IT people do it.  Most non-IT people don't.  If your
secret key isn't secure you're wasting CPU cycles and not getting any
security.  With S/MIME, you're trusting some complex of corporate
systems to do the right thing and lately we have found some of them
weren't doing it.  At least with an RSA web of trust you have met some
of the people you exchange emails with.

Does everyone in that change keep their keys secure?
