Well, Traits are in Squeak since 2006, IIRC they were available a few years earlier. So in the last X (at least 4) years the only good candidate to become a Trait was Magnitude.
PolyMorphic also uses traits. There are non-core projects that also use them, for example WebTester.
AspectMaps us them as well. They made it possible to really clean up my implementation, so I am happy with them (even though there are packaging issues).
Traits are being added to many other languages as well (e.g. traitsjs.org). It would be a shame to remove them from Squeak/Pharo Smalltalk now.
