SimpleParse is going to be around for a long while.  I only work on it 
when I get time, and particularly, when there are user requests for 
features/bugs or I find something I myself need, but I consider it a 
core part of my toolbox, so I'm not likely to let it die off.

Re size: I'd guess there's around 20 direct users at the moment, but 
there's considerably more secondary users  (e.g. every OpenGLContext 
user tends to be one, as does every mcf.vrml user, and there are other 
projects using it as well).  Basically, it's a developer's tool with a 
very specialised functionality not an end-user's tool, so it's user 
count is never going to be too high (do note that some users never post 
to the list as well).  That said, it's just been covered in Text 
Processing in Python, so maybe we'll get a huge influx now :) .

Have fun,
Mike
