Unfortunately, we have no data either way.

I'm quite certain that library developers aren't our main audience.  
Rather, I expect most Boost users are application developers. Most  
applications are only built on one compiler per platform, since  
you're not going to ship binaries built two compilers on the same  
platform. Skimming through the "Who's Using Boost?" pages, I'm seeing  
a bias toward applications.
