The airline I catch most often has the option of an RFID tag or their branded (RFID) credit card, or you can use your phone to display a QR-code via their app, or an EAN barcode if you just have the confirmation email.
If you only have carry-on luggage you just head to the gate, no need to deal with a check-in counter or anything.
Once you get to the gate, you scan your pass and it prints a small slip with seat + flight number.
Of course, international flights still have all the rigmarole of big paper passes.
