Some people responded directly to the NG.  I'll repaste the summary here:
Here's a summary of the poll results:

-------------------------------
 From the web poll:
Yes: 28  No: 87

 From replies here:
Yes: ~6  No: ~13

Totals:
Yes:  34/134 = 25%
No:  100/134 = 75%

But anyway, how many people do you think do use D overall?
My guess would be about 10x that number.  That's discounting people who 
just tried hello world once to see if it worked.

But I guess Walter should have a better idea of the actual figure based 
on # of DMD downloads from DigitalMars.
