Remember after the corrupt GR Devuan's message was "Don't panic and keep on forking?" #2 on Distrowatch's ratings list is something to be proud of. Also to be pointed out: Five of the top ten distros init without systemd. The next time a fanboy says everyone uses systemd, remind him of this. Of course he'll say that Devuan is waaay down the list of DistroWatch's list sorted by downloads, and you can counter that many of those downloads were experimental, and the list according to ratings is much more likely to include people who actually installed and use the OS.

Re: [DNG] Distrowatch user satisfaction stats
To be honest, I never heard of distrowatch before. There are 221 reviews on Devuan, though. 221! People seem to know the place, and going full steam tu use it to share with the world! We must be doing something right!! :D Taking Debian, which had solid basis in the past, and fixing the crap introduced by poor leadership and catastrophic GR? Feels strange people eventually like the result, right? Oh, wait. Kudos to all the quiet hard workers behind that success!
