I think another factor is that many people don't know that the proper
term for the fringe -- I've seen a lot of posts asking something like
"how do get rid of that funny blank area".
If there are other Emacs users who share Luc's extremely strong
reaction to the blinking cursor, but who might not be so familiar with
emacs, maybe it's worthwhile even if the number of "blinking haters"
in general is not as large as claimed. But I have no idea how to make
that judgement.
