Hi Folks,

(Disclosure: I'm the person behind that blog post.)

The fact MS is so high without it shows it may not be that important, at least not to the core audience.

I think the biggest differentiator in the stats between the top three may be the fact that MapServers don't have any sort of catalog of services or other way to find other services on the box. By which I mean, ArcGIS Server allows you to crawl it and get all of the public services and datasets. GeoServer if there are namespaces (their way of grouping things into services) you can go up a level and see what the root is serving, thus potentially finding more datasets and another service that way (but only one). But MapServer doesn't have a mechanism like that apparently (I asked on this list a couple years ago), which means that it's hard to know if I've found everything on a specific box. That's the biggest catch with the MapServer stat at least.

Cheers,

Jonathan

    Something I noticed this morning: MapServer users might be
    interested in
    recently published statistics of deployed mapping engine types
    (ArcGIS,
    GeoServer, MapServer/MapCache, QGIS Server, etc.) :
