[To the OP]:
In 1990 the main competition to emacs was vi
In 2000 it was Word
Today it is google-docs.

Which also suggests a direction for increasing the emacs user-base -- add an 
org-mode input mode to google docs.
[My own estimates] : This will increase the number of people who have heard of 
emacs 100-fold.  If even 1% of those start to actually use emacs, it will 
double the user-base
