You'd find tons more that didn't use it. Clicking is the default behaviour that everyone knows on the web, so I think I'll wait until I see more evidence that it's an effective CTA before using it. While banners might be debatable, It certainly shouldn't be used as in-line link text. I’m not sure I buy your rationale that ‘click here’ is good to use because of those cases.
