I do use PLR, although it wasn't until the last three months or so that I started doing so.
For the longest time I didn't feel right using someone else's work with my name. And then one day I got "lazy". But needed a quick article for my ezine. So I decided to rummage through all the PLR I'd been saving on my computer.
Found a PLR article with a theme that fit in my ezine at that time. And messed around with it enough that I felt I could use it. And did.
But, all that ended up taking way more time than if I had actually sat and written my own article.
So much for appeasing the lazy.
Now, sometimes I use it; sometimes I don't.
And as already mentioned, PLR is a good jumping off place for ideas.
