Sure, you can always find a few exceptions to any generalization.  But
KiCAD's community is growing, they're attracting big projects, and
people tend to try them first because they're the better-known name.
gEDA used to be that, but now we're the has-beens.  Our community is
shrinking, we're losing devs, etc.

Can we change?  Sure, if we really want to, and figure out how.

Can we retake the #1 spot?  I see no technical reason why not, if the
people can work together to address all the reasons why we're not #1.

But at the moment, unless we drastically change how we do things,
KiCAD is #1.
