 I'm surprised by this, I always expect Linux to be under-represented by download stats due to distro packaging.

While that’s true, I don’t think Debian/Ubuntu/Mint have very up-to-date packages so those users have to download the latest from eclipse.org. And with apologies to our friends from Red Hat, Debian based distros still lead by a long shot.

In the past, the Mac numbers were very low compared to Linux. Interesting to see it catch up. It is a platform for our future growth and I think we need to make sure it’s getting enough love. It’s funny, but you go to EclipseCon and I see way more Mac’s than other platforms so you’d think that would already be the case.
