You best believe I use jackstands! Being the son of an old European (mainly italian) sports car mechanic means I was taught to do everything "right" off the bat. Once I get one side on jackstands then prop the other side on jack stands, I rejack the other side to make sure the jacks didn't lean/shift any while the other end of the car went up. I actually only use the jack as a sole prop if i'm just taking a wheel off (tire not even lifted half an inch off the ground) for < 5 min dealies, or, in my current case, to hold up the subframe on one end so i could line up the holes and have a free hand to slip the nuts on.
