Only 100k?

Sure, I'm old enough to remember when that was a lot, and I only missed that kind of (paid) user base being "take the whole company across the Atlantic to celebrate" level by a year or so, but these days it seems like even a million paying users gets a "meh".

(If you mean "all users including ones who don't pay", as I recall my Mac shareware around 2009/10 got about 10k downloads in a few months, of whom something like 1% actually paid).
