Reply to comment by jaschau in [D] Building the Future of TensorFlow by eparlan

I am not a fan of TF by any means, but:

> It’s the 3rd most-starred software repository on GitHub (right behind Vue and React) and the most-downloaded machine learning package on PyPI

Can't really make that stuff up. There are quite a lot of TF users out there.

Completely agree with you there that the numbers are certainly correct. I just felt like they might not tell the whole story. For example, looking at the section where they say, I paraphrase, "x preprints are uploaded every day that mention TF", I don't doubt the numbers, but the way they tell it certainly evokes a different image compared to saying "the share of preprints relying on TF has been steadily declining the past years".

Regarding the many TF users out there, I would be curious what the main benefit is for them. Is it TPU support, TF serving, TF lite, something else?

Everyone downloads pytorch directly from the pytorch site, so it is somewhat misleading.
