I'll agree with that :).

Although this is certainly not even in the general vicinity of complete, 
we do have this page

http://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF/Adopters

If you are using *any part* of ECF, and are willing to say so publicly, 
please consider adding yourself to this page.

I guess I don't know exactly what you mean...by 'leave this market' 
(which market are you referring to?)...and 'look into another niche'.   
Of course I'm ok with exploring other niches/application areas...and 
would be very happy to help do this to the extent possible.

Thanks,
