How many users do you estimate Drupal has?It's impossible to count, but I estimate that there are roughly 200,000 public facing Drupal sites.
There are also a fair number of intranet Drupal sites that are locked behind company firewalls. It is even harder to estimate those.
Last year, Drupal was downloaded more than 600,000 times. That's also a partial view as we can't track all downloads.

Drupal modules can "override" the core's built-in features, extending or even replacing Drupal's default behavior without directly manipulating the programmed code in Drupal's core files.
