I was going by the number of wallets & some of the repo stats.

You're right though, it's not gaining consumer adoption, but it is gaining merchant, infrastructure and developer interest.

Yup, definitely gaining merchant adoption(its awesome for merchants) and developer interest(its really interesting technology).

I think a lot of the merchant adoption is driven more by marketing than anything; newegg will get a spike of sales from enthusiastic bitcoiners because of this.
