No it's definitely not. Of course, it depends on what you mean with 'the
unofficial LEGO CAD universe', but no way I'll accept that figure (99%).
BlockCAD is used by thousands of people all over the globe, many schools use
it too because it's so simple to use. But, the majority of those users are
_not_ writing on lugnet, mainly because they are not english-writing, perhaps
not even writing - I know of three year olds playing with BlockCAD.
There _are_ also other brick building programs out there - I think I've seen
at least five others, almost never talked about on lugnet.
So, please, don't grab statistics out of thin air, and don't assume your
English-centric universe is the complete one...
