I think ROM muds still outnumber SMAUG - but they're both derived from Merc, which in turn is derived from Diku, and I was really talking in more general terms, comparing the three big families; DikuMUD, LPmud and TinyMUD. The Diku family really introduced the concept of out-of-the-box muds, and I believe it was primarily that simplicity that made them so popular.
