No, they don't. Generally.

However, people quite often do think in set-based terms. Most people 
don't have too much of a problem learning SQL, for example. (Although 
having said that, some people insist on processing tasks row by row 
rather than using a set-based solution...)

Haskell makes set-based thinking quite easy and natural.
