#2Where does the 20,000 iOS users stat come from? I think it's really cool what Realm is doing.

Hi orta! The estimate is calculated from a mix of indicators: # of downloads, # of forks on Github, traffic to our docs, apps on GitHub, apps on the App Store and a few other things, using the same kind of math MongoDB and others have been using to publish this sort of stats in the past (it’s not cumulative at all, and there’s a healthy safety ratio built into the math to provide a very conservative estimate). Of course, this calculation leaves out important sources for which we do not have stats, such as Dash docs visits, people downloading from the same company/proxy — and CocoaPod downloads ;)

#6If the main selling point is a nice interface, its not much of an improvemrnt over things like ActiveAndroid (ORM for sqlite)
I'll need to read more to judge it on other grounds.

#8Faster, more understandable code and less disk space. It's great and I wonder how this miracle possible.

#9The "a replacement for SQLite & Core Data" description confuses me.
Is this a SQLite replacement, in that it is its own database, or a CoreData replacement, in that it's "just" a nice API over some other persistence layer (afaik, CoreData gives you a nice consistent API over a number of concrete persistence implementations, with SQLite being one such implementation)

#10Anything that will reduce the API hell that is working with SQLite on Android is worth a second look. Better speed is just icing on the cake.
