I am a Numeric user.

Please help the developers by responding to a few questions.
1) Have you transitioned or started to transition to NumPy (i.e. import numpy)?
Started transition. Most applications were easily ported to Numpy. I am still deciding whether or not support both Numpy and Numeric during the transition period.
2) Will you transition within the next 6 months? (if you answered No to #1)
Yes, as soon as numpy 1.0 is released.
4) Please provide any suggestions for improving NumPy.
That's a big topic! Without expanding on anything: - optimized array of interned strings (compatible with char** at the C level) - optimized array of arrays (a restriction of dtype=object array) - use BLAS in umath
