Me too, I am using FPC daily on OSX and have recommended many to do the 
same. It might not be many percent but certainly growing.

And there are so many other FPC platforms, so we better set aside a few 
percent for the rest of us.

Speaking of books for teaching FPC, could one not take an old classic 
Pascal book and update it with the news? There are many abandoned books 
that the author may enjoy seeing brought back to life. But maybe it is 
better to write it from the modern perspective from the start.
