The results are in: The Raspberry Pi 3 is the most desired maker SBC by a 4-to-1 margin. In other trends: x86 SBCs and Linux/Arduino hybrids get a boost.

More than ever, it's a Raspberry Pi world, and other Linux hacker boards are just living in it. Our 2017 hacker board survey gives the Raspberry Pi 3 a total of 2,583 votes — four times the number of the second-ranked board, the Raspberry Pi Zero W.

[...] Note that by "votes" we are referring to Borda rankings that combine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice rankings [...]

So, which if any credit-card-sized computers are you lot playing around with?

    Would almost be profitable to DIY..

    Yup, it's a shame. The difference between an M0 and M5 mBed system is very small because they also have another M-profile core emulating a FAT filesystem and programming the main one via JTAG. The intent for the systems is that you use them to prototype something that you'll deploy on M-profile cores but then ship on ones without all of the mBed programming stuff.

      Considering the price it's almost a no brainer to compete with these DIP-ARM-prototypes on price and function.
