Uh...wrong as usual Linux Geek
Did you even read the article? There have been more than 5 million downloads of the various Express products. Guess what? That's a lot. I would be surprised if any other "free" as in freedom OR free as in no $$ software development tool has been downloaded that many times. I could be wrong but if there are any I'm not aware of them. MSFT is good at making software easy. If they can provide dev tools that are easy to use people will flock to them.
