I'm not talking about the median piece of software with 2 users and 0.1 developers (I made that up).

The ones that stick out are actively maintained, widely used, and well funded. It doesn't have to be a million active users, but they should be the first to get their act together.

It's what many software companies dream of and aim for. But the same argument works with 10k users, or even 1k users.
