At least among the group I know, it's mostly the one guy that's a huge Google product fan that loves his Chromebook. The rest of them have felt that the novelty has worn off. They're great if you're wrapped up in Google-everything. The others have also realized that they can pick up a fairly recent refurb MacBook Air for just a little bit more than they'd find a decent PC laptop for. I still have an old 13" 2011 macbook pro that feels almost like a new machine now that I threw an SSD in the thing. add Xcode and maybe macports I have all of the command line love that I can shake a stick at. I'm still a hobby sysadmin and have always been happy with Terminal in OS X. Add Transmit for when I'm lazy and need to move files, and I'm happy too. :)
