Commenting on that slide I mentioned that although the growth of GF jobs (at Indeed.com) is significantly faster that that of competitors, the absolute number was still lower than them, .

There are several likely explanations for that, from plain "jobs are a lagging indicator for adoption" to the ease of use of GlassFish and strong standards support that means existing engineers can just switch from Tomcat/JBoss/WAS/WLS to GF.

BTW, later in the week we posted a relevant report on adoption from Ohlo.net [1] that indicates that the majority of the new Open Source projects are targeting GlassFish. Your readers may want to check that report.
