Most of those I see using EVM are in large construction projects.
Kiron made a good point related to agile delivery practices. Of course, you can still translate into PV and EV, however with a given stable team with a quite constant velocity and standard cost rates, the EVM metrics information for such cases is limited.

That is also my experience in most project the basic is use. Saving Changes...
