There is a small bit at MacCentral: <http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/03/21/realbasic/index.php> with the following paragraph: "REAL Software noted in the REALbasic 5.5.5 release that of the 25 percent or so of its user base who are porting applications, 47 percent are porting Visual Basic applications specifically."

This can be read a couple of different ways at a glance. They have been really going after the VB developer market with their last few releases. The VB porter appears to be generating new customers for RB. From this bit one can estimate that roughly 12-13% of their entire user base has come over from the VB camp. I am sure it has been written somewhere what their user size is. More important though is knowing who their user base is. What efforts have awarded them a larger user base.

I just love picking up bits of info like this about my competitors. It can give you an edge. In fact, I find it inspiring. As Rev and RB are in the same vertical and horizontal markets, it is an interesting piece of info.
