Hi Bulat

Doesn't your own FreeArc do pretty well? Its appealing to an audience
beyond programmers.

Re[2]: [Haskell-cafe] Most popular haskell applications

for me, darcs and ghc are programmer's instruments. xmonad is real
application, having some utility outside of programmers community.
i'm looking for utility of haskell for real world. i know that it's
used in-house (as in Deutsche Bank) or to build some solutions. what
i'm looking for is shareware or so, things that are usually written with
Delphi-class languages

 Of course, it's hard to tell: do people actually use those packages
 once they've downloaded them?  How do you measure downloads when some
 people use downstream binaries?

for windows application download counter is good enough measure, at
least while we compare one program with another. unfortunately, xmonad
isn't a windows app :D

At the moment, Haskell seems to be very developer-oriented, in that
its main usages are for custom applications to solve problems rather
than writing consumer software.

Here's _some_ indications of download counts for XMonad:
