As a desktop user, I barely touch wine. The vast majority of my compatriots do not touch wine either on their desktop freebsd systems. I do not think that you can apply 'most' to the claim. I think that the linux compatibility layer (both 32-bit and 64-bit) is more pressing. I used wine a long time ago to play starcraft. I stopped playing, and stopped using wine. Haven't used it since.
