OSes no, but still is used --- ECMA Script and derivatives (JavaScript) 
for example. However, I agree that \r alone is dangerous (i.e. when 
counting lines of redirected output file containing many '\r's: ``[+ 
]\r[++ ]\r[+++]\n''): besides JavaScript lexers, your \r?\n is quite 
fine in general. Old Mac's line endings are not made by accident --- one 
must be itching to do '\r' EOLs.
