Yes

funny CADaver ....
Actually I use a combination of all of them as well...
-
At former employment: lots of icon menus with standard blocks, all governed by AutoLISP and menu macros.
Now: Manually typed, I-N-S-E-R-T
-
Design center......

I use all types as well fully dependent on the block. Electrical blocks have toolbars where as landscape blocks have an insert program.
-
I use a combination as well.
Command: DDI (ddinsert)
Custom Toolbars
Custom Slide Libraries (I created these after the toolbars)
BlockWerx (http://www.cadwerx.net) (Bought after the toolbars and the slide libraries)
Still use 'em all from time to time, but Blockwerx is used most frequently. Check it out!

What's a pgp?
Yes, of course I type "I" only :)
.. or rather "-I" and then "~" (hate to get a dialog only to click alot of buttons)

One of these days we should count how many times we bring that program up in here! Like the cordless Dremel I just bought to make my marriage proposal (long story), it's a very versatile tool!

Ain't that the truth.
Okay I know it uses (COMMAND in a lisp but ...
(defun c:ii () (command "-insert" "~"))

neato CADaver ... never knew ya had it in ya...
Actually I use the insert dialog whenever I use the insert command.
To me it is much quicker than doing a heap of typing and additional clicks. Once I set the "select insert point on screen" and "select rotation angle on screen" I use
Command: I
<dialog pops up with the name field highlighted>
<type block name>
<click enter>
<select point>
<select rotation angle>

Depends on what I'm doing and what I know going in. Often it's faster for me to key-in an "S" and the scale, and an "R" and the angle than to pick the lil' boxes. But then I'm an old keyboard junkie.

I use the palettes.Have them set up for a particular layer that way it saves me time creating new layers.Used to use the insert command but find it slower than the palettes.With the palettes there alll at my fingers tips dont have to search for them.I used to also have my custom menus of blocks.Took a while to set them all up,then came along 2004 :).
