Not as my everyday desktop but I've used RPi 4 with 8GB RAM and SSD as a development computer for a specific project. The goal was to port Windows based device control software with GUI. The software was written in Delphi. I used Lazarus IDE for running straight on RPi so I can debug "in situ". The project was success and amazingly I was able to do the initial port in a couple of days.
