I have a 13" Macbook Air and also an iPad mini that is mostly shared with my family members. But ever since I upgraded my phone from iPhone 4S to iPhone 6, I rarely ever use my Macbook anymore. I'm quite satisfied with watching Youtube vids and browsing the internet with my iPhone's 4.7" screen. I just graduated from college, so I don't really use MS Office that much either. To me, the iPhone is pretty much the single device I need.
Got a tip for us?

Who else stopped using iPod / iPad / Macbook / iMac after getting iPhone 6/6+?

Maybe a reduced usage of computer and tablet, but not totally. It is occasionally easier to use the iPhone 6 Plus, but it will not replace the iMac or iPad.
Nope.
I pretty much stopped using the MBP clear back with the iPad 1, and I use the rMini now for writing, surfing, games, etc. So far, I use the 6 about as much as I used the 5--first thing in the morning & last thing at night, when I don't feel like holding the iPad. Music, texting, maps, calendaring, and quick lookups of random stuff when I'm out of the house.
And oh yeah, as a phone. Once in a while. If I can't avoid actually talking to someone.
I looked at the 6+ for a long time before buying the 6. In the end, for me, it was too small to be an adequate iPad replacement, and too big to be a comfortable phone replacement. So there was really no chance I'd find myself using either the 6 or 6+ more than I did the 5.
