Although number of users may not translate into a quality system (Microsoft
is a prime example), number of users does translate into testers with some
valid feedback, code contributors, vendor driver support, and money to pay
core contributors (you?) among many other advantages. The best advantage
of any networking system comes when an increased number of people use it so
that the value offered by the networking system can be utilized and
appreciated. There is value in a community. On the other hand, you can
live in a cave and do whatever you like if you wish.
