Enough to prove that a significant portion of CompSci. students exist just so that they earn money, however debased their fundamentals may be. This is also a strong case for the point that not only should colleges offering CompSci programs have heterogenous environments but also encourage students to use each of those platforms and make choices based on requirements and not on their preferences.
