I also worked with the 6800 family (6892, 6808, 6909) between 1989 and 1984.
In 1986 I worked for the USAF and they were testing a a radiation hardened
version of the RCA micro.
In 1980 I bought myself a Heathkit H-89 computer. It had a Z-80 and ran.
CP/M. I used it as a development system until about 1989 when I got my first
PC Clone.

My time ended about 8 years before yours did. I saw mostly Intel (starting
with 8088/8086 and some 8080), I knew of Motorola (mostly the 6800
series). While I did have the Mostec books, the RCA COSMAC data (some of
it), and my own favorite (mostly due to cost, the 6502), I never saw them
in any sort of equipment that I did for my work, but that was military
spec stuff, which had its own (and highly beloved) processor.

How popular were they?

To my knowledge the HP3870 was a MK3870 clone.
