We have started replacing RSA with ECC en masse -- ECC is very common in new applications, e.g. Bitcoin and Signal both use it exclusively. Migrating existing protocols like TLS is slower because everyone has to interoperate with legacy stuff, but here are some stats from Mozilla last year that show something like 95% of incoming connections using some variant of ECDHE (= elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman): https://jve.linuxwall.info/blog/index.php?post/2016/08/04...
RSA is still very common for TLS certificates, but even that's starting to shift.
