Is PW becoming more popular?

[kongondo]

Does the presence of spam on the forums mean we are becoming more popular? I've encountered a couple this week. Either way, I think PW is becoming more popular. My take, it's more popular in Europe than other regions?

Yes, it looks like PW is rapidly becoming more popular. Ryan posted some stats here some months ago: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/1793-2012-critic’s-choice-cms-awards/?p=20070

Google trends look good too: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=processwire

I wonder how many of those Switzerland and USA visits are down to you know who ! Jokes aside, nice stats!

Processwire is a perfect load balanced template/code system. If that fact is recognized and experienced by more people it can really boom drupal and wordpress away from cms land. But then again, strangly enough, it doesn't work that way. You can be the best and yet other wanna be designs get more credit and more fame. I am in the repair/service field for computers for more than 15 years and I know of tools like deepfreeze and shadow user that can recover a pc fool proof from any software problem/attack/virus/mis-installs/wrong driver installs/dumb users/user mistakes/ etc. etc, simply by rebooting the pc. And yet is everybody knowing about it and buying it ?

No ! Why ? Beats me ! Same for tools that can make a pc with 8 Gb of ram or more start to fly and run your programs in high speed mode by using a ramdisk or supercache. Doesn't everybody want his pc to run your programs super fast ? Make IE / FF / Word / Photoshop / etc. etc. run fast ? Yes ! Do people know and use ramdisks and supercache ? No ! Why ? Beats me ! I guess people are sometimes hard to understand.

No Portugal?? I have to spend more time on the forums

India on 5th position?

It's good to know that indians are also using it but I see a very few(almost none) of them here.

Anyways, considering the quality of indian market, they sure do need a better system like ProcessWire to build better websites.

*sigh*

As usual Italy is at the bottom of the list....we are too proud of pizza and Cristoforo Colombo to make a step towards evolution

hmmm, beat me, but i'm not too unhappy with pw not becoming much to much popular ... wp is popular, because it's a jap-cms (just-another-plugin-cms). wouldn't like to see pw go this route ... but, however, presumably popularity helps ryan to make a living from his amazing work. and that's desirable by itself.

jap cms ha ha that's a good one. Me neither want to see pw go a status quo for the masses route. Should stay hard core with power limited only by the skills of the user. Something that that other cms never became: stripped down and tuned up. I also would love to strip down and tune up my car and start roaring the streets.
