You may be wrong...<br>

I don't have the numbers for FPC, but Lazarus has an ever increasing
amount of downloads. (Numbers for Windows, you can find others
yourself)<br>

On Linux you have to consider that many distros include it.<br>
And on top, you have other downloads, such as from git directly
(FpcUpDeluxe).<br>
<br>
That said, it could always grow faster. And hence this is **not** a
"We are doing so great, lets lean back and just watch" statement.<br>
