> For example the number of folk who treat TDD as a synonym for unit testing is scary. I think the problem is in 2 parts: in TDD term (Test-Driven Design/Development, it's just not that obvious), and in lack of unit-testing at most projects (I see) at all. Was there any statistics on that, by the way?

Was there any statistics on that, by the way? Nope. Only my personal experiences of talking to folk and teaching/advocating TDD. I encounter a lot of folk who think just using an xUnit framework == doing TDD. It's depressing. My experiences may be biased since I'm often brought to help out with folk who are having problems. However Googling for things like "TDD is not about testing" shows lots of people having similar experiences :-)
