The only ones that mean anything to the majority is OpenOffice and Firefox.
And besides: Forking is a strength. Firefox was sort of a fork originally from Mozilla. The main product that they where pushing(Mozilla) had a number of issues that the fork fixed.
Essentially: Forking takes darwinism in software to a new extreme. If a projects has some flaws that the creators don't see, ignore, etc... someone can fork it and fix it. If these issues are important and large enough the fork will win through. Survival of the fittest(best software).
