How common is it for plumbers to use push fit these days?
I assume it is considered standard when doing a plastic install?
Would most reputable plumbers frown at pushfit for copper installations? Or is it becoming more accepted?

I worked with a heating engineer replacing my daughters CH. He used push fit on the ground floor buried in the screed. Then for upstairs it was soldered copper.
in my own home I am virtually all push fit on copper for my CH and plastic for the bathroom.

It is used extensively, but is horrible ugly stuff, personally I never use it if possible, and I would never even think of burying it in a screed

Plastic fittings are ugly for sure and an experienced plumber will invariably use soldered copper where cost/time allows and/or if the pipework will subsequently be inaccessible.
That being said, plastic and push fit is now the modern alternative material and advances in manufacturing and makeup makes it a perfectly acceptable system to use these days, especially where heat is to avoided and it makes installation much quicker, easier and invariably cheaper.
I will always use soldered copper where I can but sometime plastic can be used to get by difficult situations.
