...by the way, I meant "contributor base" not "user base" (which is already broad ;-) )

Regarding AVX support, I'm just watching Eigen from the sidelines anymore, but I'll say this: the best thing that could happen to Eigen is broadening of its user base, so it would be great to see features like AVX being contributed by new/non-core contributors.

there are already two starts which seems to be at about the same stage:

- https://bitbucket.org/rpg/eigen-avx

- https://bitbucket.org/smoustafa/eigen-avx

Even though I introduced these two contributors to each other, we end up with two forks... as Benoit said, everybody is welcome to participate to make this feature mature as quick as possible.
