Oh, I think the base is increasing slowly, numerically. I'm a non-technical user, non-programmer, and I started using it because of org-mode. I use it for research, for my daily planner, that sort of thing. 
Once I started using it, I couldn't stop. It doesn't take very many keystrokes to make one realize how special it is.

I've been using emacs since as far back as 18.59.  Still use it daily.

However, I often wonder where Emacs is heading.  Most places I work, I'm in the minority - and that's an understatement - as an Emacs user.

I learned Lisp because of Emacs and it's a cool language, but almost no one cares to learn Lisp.

I can't live without Emacs, but in some areas Emacs tend to be lacking.

As I just noticed that Emacs 24 is now stable it still amazes me that there's still a lot of development going on, considering my sense of isolation as an Emacs user, and the impression that Emacs users is a dying breed.

Since this is a help group, am I required to end with a question mark? :-)

Regards,
