When we first started out it was a lot less common and a many people questioned it (I have to say, mostly out of ignorance rather than malice, but there was no hiding the skepticsim and suspicion).

These days it's a lot more mainstream and we actually encounter a lot more positive interest than negative. We often get questions about how to get started, the logistical demands, and so on. It helps that our son has moved on to college and is doing very well; people see that homeschooling works and doesn't fit the stereotype of a social abyss (our son goes to a large university and has made a ton of new friends from his dorm and the paintball club).
