I did for awhile for Python development. I use the NumPy/SciPy stack, and only used Chromebooks with the 2955u chip, so it ran pretty snappy for me. Bad screen got to me, and rather than drop money on a Pixel I bought an HP x360 Spectre and haven't looked back. The Chromebook is still nice for travel/coffeeshop where damage/loss/theft is a concern as they are priced so cheap. I spilled a beer on one, shrugged, went out and bought a replacement. And how can you knock an all day battery? Right now the Chromebook is being used as a chrome cast station that I leave by the couch. Today it was streaming classical music youtube videos for me.
