Hi Shannon,

In addition to what Ward reported, I've noticed we get a fair number of support
questions from 

  - users of WRF models
  - users of MATLAB, IDL, and R
  - developers and users of ESRI and other GIS software, such as ArcGIS
  - developers of new analysis and visualization packages for geoscience
    data, such as most of the 3rd-party tools mentioned in our 
    "Software for Manipulating or Displaying NetCDF Data" web page
  - users wanting to convert netCDF data to Excel or text
  - users wanting to convert satellite data from HDF-EOS into netCDF-CF

Users of netCDF-Java software are primarily data providers or service 
providers, making large archives of data available on remote servers. This 
is a small percentage of users, but a large fraction of netCDF data that is
accessed remotely or through service interfaces.
