Xlogo is primarily of use in advertisements; look through UnixWorld or
somesuch and count the number of Xlogo programs running on machines in ads for
X terminals and servers. :->

Actually, the Logo widget is a fairly clean framework which can be used as
a basis for a your-company-logo widget, which is how I found it to be useful. 

[Note that programs not using the Xaw set still have access to the Xlogo-drawing
code, now placed in the Xmu library.]
