AOP has proven itself as a very useful technique for centralising the cross-cutting concerns of an application and many of us use aspects in our day to day work, but are people thinking in aspects yet?

For example, frameworks like Spring use aspects under the covers to implement things like support for transactions, but effectively this is all hidden away from the developer. What I'm interested to know is whether people are explicitly designing aspects into their software. Based upon my own experience, I've not seen many instances where this has been done; where developers have made a concious decision to use aspects to solve a particular problem. Are your experiences the same?
