While the question wasn't directed at Lazarus the number of registered 
members on the web site is: 2008

You can check the stats on the web site for hits on the site.

http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Stats&file=index

You can also go to Source Forge and checks those stats. You will see 
around 300-400 downloads of Lazarus a day.
