Given we are talking about statistical software, one bibliometric measure 
of relative package popularity is scientific citations.  Web of Science is 
not too useful where the citation has been to a website or computer 
package, but Google Scholar for "lme4: Linear mixed-effects models using 
S4 classes" gives us 108 journal citations; "mgcv: GAMs and generalized 
ridge regression for R" 80 etc


Cheers, David Duffy.
