Allow me. > > ~/edev/trunk/lisp > $ ppgrep -w '(lambda' | wc -l > 6834 Now, you're bending it the other way:) Do note, that we're comparing `lambda', which was part of core Emacs forever and ships with each Emacs, to a library concieved 2 years ago, and to use which, the other package writers have to go out of their way (I, for one, try not to depend on third party packages unless I have to). So yes, it's 6834 vs 200, but consider the circumstances.
