We're not going to give out specific figures, but it's doing quite well.
The primary factors for making a decision are price and performance, plus
the reputation and longevity of the vendor (The Kermit Project goes back
to 1981; Columbia University was incorporated in 1754 :-), especially as
regards support and competence.
Or you can sample opinions of current licensees -- anyone who would care
to post here on this subject, don't be shy.

:
The terminal emulator is used very heavily, and in the most demanding
applications -- we know this because we do the tech support and we add
features and emulations in response to user demands. File transfer is used
heavily too, of course, as is scripting, but I'd estimate the vast majority
of users' time is spent in the emulator.
Of course K95 users are welcome to speak of their own experiences.
