Does anybody have any current figures as to the relative popularity of
Lazarus on different CPUs and OSes?
Checking the sf download figures might give a rough estimation. Maybe
someone can get snapshot downloads because those aren't tainted because
those aren't in the official linux distros.
Thanks Florian, I started to think along those lines after I posted. Is
that info only available to an admin or should I be able to find it
myself (I've had no success so far)?
Assuming that a significant number of Lazarus users do or did use
Delphi, the interesting statistic is whether more are developing for the
Mac (OS X) or for x64 (Windows/Linux) since that might give some
indication of what priorities Embarcadero should have if they really are
interested in progressing Delphi as a live product.
I don't know how anybody else feels, but I'd have no objection to a
"popularity contest" extension which submitted anonymous platform
details when (e.g.) Lazarus or FPC was first installed or had a version
upgrade. If it could track LCL usage it could possibly answer some
questions like how many people are still using GTK v1.
