I made an effort to stop saying guys a few years ago, and as a result I now notice a lot when people use it. I've been quite surprised by how often it's used by women to refer to mixed-gendered groups.

And, honestly, I don't care if most of the people are fine with it. It costs almost nothing to use a different word and if it makes one person feel included then that's a good cost:benefit ratio.
