I'm OK with colons but semi-colons bother me. I'm pretty hazy about them but generally use them to divide up lists which follow the use of a colon. I think that schools are so happy to get pupils to write in sentences with capital letters and full stops that the use of semi colons drop of the list. These days the bullet point has taken over from long consecutive lists in most cases. Perhaps we care less about the cost of paper.
