I'd say not many? If you search the mail archives for "pg_service.conf" in the last two years, there's only 15 matches and even then it's only ever mentioned on -hackers or -patches. For example, nobody brought it up that last thread about connecting to multiple servers, even though it would have been the perfect solution. I certainly never heard of it and I've been using postgres and been on -general for several years.
