sheer number of downloads doesn't say much. comparing to some other communities (let's talk about rust and go, for example, as relatively fresh performers on the stage) our community is small. but in the end it is quality that matters, not huge numbers, i believe. and signal/noise ratio of thing NG is great (especially when i'm not posting here).
