I am French and I never heard about this project. I pay taxes on the taxes web site where everything is filled in for me, so no need to use any software. The whole exercice takes literally 30 seconds.

This is not to day that the software is not useful (the API looks great after a quick reading), but it will be used by a very small population.

I don't use it either, but there is a lot of value in it because it forces formalism and transparency, and allow reproducibility for something as important as taxes.
