A fad?? No way, we have been installing Decora's for many years and with the relatively new Light Almond colour, demand has increased. Decora's are a great way to up-sell to your customer (we are here to do business, aren't we?). People are more than happy to pay more for them and they don't take any more effort to install.
Highly recommend only using the Leviton or Pass and Seymour brands for quality reasons. Keep in mind the 4 way Decora's are hyper-expensive and are very delicate. Also, check out the Light Almond. Looks much better than Ivory, and because there is so much more to touch on a Decora switch, doesn't show dirt marks like the White ones do.
