Way more than 'just' 20 by now, but yes.

Every time I tell someone about VMS, they're the vast majority of the
time (read: ~99%) interested to try VMS.  The problem is, most people
simply haven't heard of VMS.  Like today, when I was at university, I
told someone about my remote access cluster initiative and about the
"Deathrow" cluster.  The person was instantly interested, fascinated
that 'there's more than merely Windows and UNIX/-derivatives!'  (A
typical response that I usually get, when I bring this things up.)

The way I see it: we're in the Kali Yuga (VMS Engineering will probably
understand what I mean) of IT and computing in general.
