Count me in this group, too.  Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to
use Ada on real projects for 7 years now.  Since then, I've been using C
and C++.  I now teach a C++ course.  It's a whole different world.  I sure
miss doing Ada.  Wish I could get back to it but my employer was purchased
by a C++ "supporter" (AT&T :-), and now I'm stuck "++"ing instead of
tasking.

So, yes, there are *definitely* people out there that like Ada.  The best
products don't always sell the most.
