It’s been a long, er, while since whilst was in popular use, so feel free to leave it in the past. (Same goes for amongst and amidst, I’m sorry, don’t hate me.) On the other hand, using archaic words like whilst can be a fun way to make a character sound even more arrogant/annoying/pretentious if need be… And there can be a place for these forms in some historical or fantasy stories too.
