Popularity is not exactly what attracts most hackers nowadays; it's profit. Yes, in the common case, the more popular the system, the more profit can be made by hacking it. But if a system is running on a few, but very strategic places

Exactly! In some cases like in recursive queries, CTEs may be the only way to achieve some result. In almost all other cases, people use them just because they apparently can't reason about joins, or don't like to do so. I frequen
