The Power of 10% | Acquia

If Drupal were 10 times bigger, it would serve 10% of the web. As with Firefox, however, Drupal's influence (our influence) on the future of web, community building, data and information sharing, etc. will be a lot more than just 10 times bigger. If we get 10 times bigger, survive for a while, and then somehow fade away... we will already have caused more community features in other CMS's, more openness and freedom into social business software, more content-building flexibility into site-building software, more transparency in government, more of a lot of things we all find important. The Drupal community will have contributed to making the world a permanently better place.
