There's a lot of argument that lead-free solder isn't as good (or easy to use) and several hobbyists still use leaded solder.

Was hired as a software engineer at a tiny company, in April of this year, that produces surveillance cameras. They had me building and repairing their cameras which involved a non-trivial amount of soldering. They never told me I was handling lead and I wouldn't have known if I wasn't a curious person but it turns out they thought lead-free solder "sucked" and wouldn't switch.

Not nitpicking but solder for military and public transport applications is exempt and still used, due to better performance under vibration and shock.
