I could see worm drives being used in Europe, but even here in the US you will find their usage to be very heavy on the west coast and much lighter on the east coast. Heavy concentration on production framing in one area and not so much in the other. I admit that I have never personally seen one where I live on a construction site in more than twenty years.

I inherited my grandfather's old Skil model 77 and it's still running great. Built like a tank and a real pleasure to use.
I have a no longer available Skil 8 1/4" worm drive. I've cut everything from bricks to timbers with it. It is a BEAST, 8 hours working with this will negate any need for extra weightlifting although my Milwaukee 10" is just as arm numbing. I also have a PC 6 1/4" which is much better for vertical work. I also use the PC with a metal cutting blade for installing lite kits in commercial steel doors. I admit to being a tool junkie, owning most tools known to modern man and many that most men do not know exist. If I think it will make my jobs easier... I own it. I really need to start selling some of these so I can justify more of the green drugs; like I need another router to keep the nine company I already own . I've already bought the holey rail, next to buy the base set and see If I can adapt one of these for the 32mm system. My Festool madness started with Makita track saw from Amazon Warehouse Deals, I bought Festool tracks 75", 55", 32" and recently the 55" holey rail. Bought two refurbed sanders, the 850 planer, and now have 26 Tanos or Festool systainers; replacing all my Plano tool boxes.
