No one really, accept for extreme Orthodox Sects. The old Julian Calendar was used for around 1600 years or so, but it was off slightly so that after 1400 years, it was off by an entire Seasonal change. But in order to explain the reason one has to accept modern Astronomical theory, which many churches, especially the Orthodox church (didn't accept Gregorian until the rise of Communism) wouldn't do. Poor Copernicus found out the reason in the 1400's but he couldn't tell the Pope without getting Burned at the steak as a heretic for disagreeing with Aristotle. The Orthodox Church, being as stubborn as Catholics are, didn't accept this until the Communists made them change.

Although Jews, Muslims, Budhists and Hindu's have their own religious calendars, the whole world due to western dominance, generally uses our 12 month, 365 day calendar which now says December 26, 2008. It should continue to be accurate for centuries more, being technically off by a few milliseconds a year.

What event marks the start of Gregorian calendar?

The calendar is intended to mark the number of years since the death of King Herod the Great. The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
