You're surprised?

The EPO supports primarily well established, widely used projects that are
already seeing substantial numbers of product deployments.

I guess in the case of an editor that would mean "being used to write the
code for a fair number of deployments".

I've not yet seen a single plain user of Padre advocate it, and only
occasionally heard from developers - this includes freenode #perl as well
as all the channels on perl.org I'm on.

So either you've got far less users outside of #padre than you think, or
you're suffering from epic marketing failure :)

I think Padre is bloody important, and I really hope you guys gain traction,
but out in the wild there's not really evidence of that traction already
being there. Plack is a far younger project but far, far more visible at
this point.
