Okay, one more segment needs to be responded to.

Flawed logic.

A large number of users doesn't automatically imply good software with
lots of features, or even a great development community.  A great
development community leads to great software.  And great software
leads to lots of users.  Sure, there's a feedback loop pushing users
to become developers; but it doesn't start with users of vaporware,
leading to more developers joining the effort to turn that vaporware
into a great product.

Life doesn't begin with users.
