How Popular are Wix, Weebly and Squarespace?

If you live in the US or the UK, it's been hard to avoid the advertising blitz for DIY website tools such as Squarespace, Wix, Weebly and others.

Jeffrey Zeldman tweeted:


“With @Squarespace commercials on TV, YouTube, and every taxicab in NYC, has web design become a commodity?”


Christopher Butler, who quoted that tweet, added his own prediction:
"Five years from now, the majority of websites will be powered by Squarespace or something like it"

They aren't alone. Matt Mullenweg caused a stir recently when he claimed that DIY website tools were becoming the true competitors to WordPress:
"Naked WordPress (without plugins) is not competitive to Wix, Weebly, Squarespace"

So, I wondered, how competitive are the likes of Squarespace, Wix, Weebly? How much market share have they won?
