I found this list of most used Transformers (https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/2367/most-used-transformer.html ) but is there a list of most used Formats also?
Page 1 / 1
Each person/company/entity will have vastly different results. It's pretty easy to do for your personal projects. (attached .fmw)
If you open a FMW file in notepad you will see the sources for whatever workbench you have opened;
# --SourceDataset_MSSQL_SPATIAL NonGeodatabase
# --DestDataset_SHAPE C:\\***
Then you can add all .fmw files to FME as a wildcard input, test out the sources, clean up the data, run stats, and then create a chart.
Example output
Chart_inputs.fmw
Well the transformers page is listed in order of most-used, although it doesn't have any numbers or percentages:

The formats page (https://www.safe.com/integrate/) doesn't have that same facility. The top 4 will likely be Shapefile, AutoCAD DWG, CSV, Excel; but beyond that I really don't know.
I can't find a whole list, but if there's a format of interest, I can look it up.
@sigtill If you can encourage your customers to run the FME Workspace Statistics you'll get very good picture of what they are using. The example results in that article show statistics for most of the webinars we have presented.

@jlbaker2779 Try the FME Workspace FMW reader. this is used in the statistics workspace I referenced ( FME Workspace Statistics ) and would also allow you to pull the formats used in FeatureReader/Writer, DatabaseJoiner etc.
