It’s probably not a good metric since Node/Express uses a more modular design but Express is downloaded more than 10 million times every WEEK.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/express

Does anyone know what would be a good metric to compare usage sizes of different frameworks?

A lot of those have to be builds in test pipelines, would be interesting to know what percentage, I’d guess > 90%

That would mean those packages are probably deployed somewhere. That would still count as an awesome number.

How about - the number of mentions on sites like Reddit and Hacker News?
