Here's mine.  I think it would be different if I were to re-do all of the workspaces I use in production jobs.  I use ArcStroker a lot because I write to LL, where arcs don't make sense.
 
Top 10:
 
TransformerName TransformerCount
GeometryFilter 169
AttributeRenamer 111
AttributeCreator 96
AttributeFilter 90
Counter 61
AttributeKeeper 42
GeometryCoercer 41
PolygonBuilder 37
ArcStroker 35

Subject: [fme] Transformer Count

Hi Group,
Just in the interest of science some of the support team have been checking out the most popular transformers in our workspaces.
If you have a little time and Ultraedit installed then you can do the same - it makes interesting reading.
 
In Ultraedit run a 'Find in Files' query like the one in the image below.
 
 
In case you can't see the image the settings are...
 
Find: #! TYPE="
In Files/Types: *.fmw
Directory: C:\
 
With the 'search sub directories' option ticked.
 
This will search your hard drive for all workspaces and extract a list of transformers in all of them.
Surprisingly it only takes a minute or two to complete. Save the results as a textfile and run the attached workspace on it.
 
This will give you a csv file listing all the transformers you've used and how many times.
My top-ten is...
 
1 Tester (324)
2 AttributeRenamer (282)
3 Visualizer (275)
4 ExpressionEvaluator (259)

5 AttributeCreator (236)
6 FeatureMerger (183)
7 Concatenator (166)
8 Aggregator (137)
9 TCLCaller (125)
10 AttributeFilter (115)
 
...though I think I'm skewed by too many ESF format workspaces which tend to use lots of AttributeRenamers
 
If you don't have Ultraedit then I'm sure you have another tool capable of doing the search - but you may need to edit the workspace to match the output.
If you don't see the attached workspace it's at ftp.safe.com/outgoing/fmepedia/Example Workspaces/Transformer Counter.zip
 
Post your output csv here and we'll add it to any analysis we carry out. No guarantees it'll lead to changes anywhere but it will certainly give us a good idea of what is important to our users.
