Well, I've only played hardcore once, and I was so terrified of dying that I was literally shaking. Of course the shaking made me fall off a cliff and die. After I restarted I never built a house because I knew I would lose it anyway. So I just deleted the world because I felt it was pointless.

I like the idea of hardcore, but I don't play it because it seems I can make the best things when I only have one chance and then I die to drowning because my spacebar breaks on me.
I don't really find it to be much different than playing on other difficulties. But then, I'm an old old-school gamer who comes from the era where games had serious death penalties, so it's been ingrained for years to play cautiously enough to not die, or at least not often.
I'm building a big city in my current hardcore world. Which is just giving even more incentive to not get myself killed in inventive and careless ways.
Since there is no hardcore section (that I could find) This is the closest forum/section there is as it is still a survival world, you just only have one life.
I'm new to the game and now I'm to the point where I haven't died in like a week. I have full enchanted diamond armor and the only thing that's scary is walking over lava or mining glowstone in the nether. So my next game will probably be hardcore. It seems like when you get to a certain point, the only way you would die is from something really stupid, which happens. I know.
Never played hardcore and never will. I'd flip out if I died and had to start completely over after putting in an insane amount of work into something.

Everything is nothing. Nothing is everything. Reality, fantasy, they're all the same. It's all a matter of perspective. Nothing exists. Everything exists.
I play what is probably the opposite of hardcore mode: peaceful mode.
I only put the game on a difficulty with monsters when I really want to fight them. Even then, I put it on easy mode since I'm kind of a wuss in MineCraft.
Most of the time, they are just annoying.
Hardcore mode also disables cheats, which is another problem for me since I like having my mobGriefing and keepInventory game rules set the way I want them. Of course, keepInventory is irrelevant in hardcore because permadeath renders that game rule useless.
Speaking of permadeath, I also wouldn't want to play because of that. I would hate losing all of my hard work because I died. (I mean, I even play with "keepInventory" turned on so I don't even drop my inventory when I die.)
Basically, playing with the fear of death in MineCraft just doesn't appeal to me. I normally like a challenge. Heck, I enjoy old-school shmups for that reason. As I've said elsewhere on this site, I play MineCraft to relax. Having the threat of permadeath looming over me would ruin that.
I understand that the challenges presented by hardcore mode appeal to many people, but not to me.
I do respect hardcore players as long as they respect me, though. Both ways of playing are equally valid, just very different.

Well, I've got a hardcore world lying around. I used to play quite a bit on it, got almost a full diamond set and all that good stuff, but then I figured out I was too scared to go to the end, and finding more diamonds turned out incredibly hard, so I pretty much quit.

OT:
Never have, never will. I would rather the option to continue a world when I die, instead of loosing all of the time I spent on that world.

It sucks losing all your stuff
P.S. That has actually happened.
I can't get any banners to work in my signature, pfft. @PoconoManGaming <--- twitter
Then the Enderdragon pushed me off the cliff/ End edge and i died.

I walk off ledges, ravines, cliffs, out of tall trees and down pits and get killed all the time. Hardcore is clearly not for me.
But yeah hardcore sounds like allot of fun to me!

I'm old. Games these days aren't brutal enough.
