I used to use 'you guys', exclusively. Now I sometimes say that, and sometimes say 'you folks' or 'you people'.
The reason why I switched doesn't have anything to do with gender awareness, though, but the way the pronoun 'you guys' sounds particularly American to me, and that doesn't always match with the way I feel and am trying to portray myself.
