Unironically, yes.
My M3 Macbook Pro's palm rests get uncomfortably warm during regular IDE use. It doesn't get hot enough to spin up a fan, but it is enough to be distracting.

interesting. for me only the bottom and the top part above the keyboard gets warm during my work. 16inch model. Is yours the 14inch one?
14 inch, running primarily IntelliJ IDEA and Firefox. Around 10% CPU use most of the time, with of course the occasional spike for compilation.
It's not hot, but with 22C ambient it is enough of a rise to be annoying.
I have the 14 inch and i've never felt it go warm.
I think the real question is what IDE we're talking about.
I am mostly in PHPStorm with several projects open + sometimes I have Xcode and/or Android Studio open as well
