I can't speak for the cool kids, or even for pfSense proper, but I'm running 
a fork of pfSense, OPNsense, on a little dual-port Zotac box I picked up 
last week:

(I also got 4GB memory and a 120GB SSD for it.)

OPNsense is at https://opnsense.org/ btw. Among other things, I like that it 
has weekly security updates. They talk about the reasons for the fork here:
