i assume he means #1 in usage (measurable) rather than in quality (an opinion, which he may also have, but which he probably wouldn't say as simply as "has become the #1").
When you say "seems like a stretch", I read it as you thinking he meant "quality, as a matter of opinion".
I would not be surprised if it's #1 in usage, getting there by being integrated in github and free and actually pretty darn good.
I'm honestly surprised by quantity even. I'd question the quality from my brief experience with it I didn't find it that impressive.
The quantity aspect is also a bit surprising since it hasn't been that long that it's been released, so seeing a #1 leader is impressive in itself, even if it's free and integrated.
I mean I have a bunch of TravisCI projects that I really don't want to migrate over unless I have a good reason. The "if it works" leave it alone.
If there's enough motivation for people to switch it's impressive (or it shows how much people hate travis/jenkins/whatever CI they ARE using)
