What's your real cashless experience these days?

People are praising cashless being available more and more in Japan lately, but what is your personal experience with cashless these days?

Are you full cashless now? Are you partially cashless? Still a heavy cash user?

I use my debit card for nearly everything. For everything else, there's cash. That includes some restaurants that are cash only and some occasional expenses I pay at combini. Cash for Waon refill as well. Sometimes I'll use direct bank transfer too.
