The package system appears to be quite popular in the Org mode world.

There are a dozen ob-* languages distributed by the package system
vs. eight in contrib.  There are fifteen ox-* exporters available
through the package system vs. eleven in contrib.

Download statistics from Melpa indicate several of the packages are
quite popular.  ox-reveal has been downloaded more than 4,000 times, and
ox-pandoc and ox-gfm (Github flavored markup) more than 1,000 times.
The babel languages are less popular, but ob-browser (for html),
ob-ipython, ob-mongo, and ob-sml have all been downloaded more than 300
times.

Melpa has 91 org-* packages. The packages evil-org, org-bullets, and
org-fstree have all been downloaded more than 10,000 times.  There are
ten others with more than 1,000 downloads.

All the best,
Tom
