I don't trust the download numbers by any means to be an accurate measurement of where our user base is. You should take into account that on the Linux side people generally get packages via the maintainers of their distribution rather than SF. Plus, the savvy users (of all platforms) pull via svn. Just throwing that out there.
Cheers, Josh
Agreed. Doesn't change my opinion about possible confusion of having multiple back ends for preferences. Or the extra work diverging methods of doing the same thing makes. But since I'm the lone dissenter about this (like the Windows File Dialog) I'll close my mouth.
