Not many frame with shingles.

Shingle warranties are usually voided with use of power nailers. Most
roofers here, use them anyway.

Not a chance in hell that a hammer is faster. Watch them do shingles some
time. Wait, does *anyone* hammer down shingles anymore?

It definitely varies from crew to crew.

Many of the newbies are given nailers and the cordless ones are getting
popular. I framed my house with a nailer and barbed nails. that was a
mistake when changes need to be made though. Other jobs I have been in,
almost all the seasoned framers used hammers as the climbing was a pain
with
a nailer and the hammer was faster, overall. For sheeting a nailer was used
almost exclusively but not for structural lumber.
