From my experience supervising computational projects, most sociologists rely on open-source tools like R and Python. I have seen them used for text analysis, network modeling, and large-scale data processing. I would recommend choosing tools based on research questions rather than trends. What matters most is transparency, reproducibility, and the ability to explain methods clearly to non-technical audiences.
