All of them :-)

It's kinda hard to tell, but my experience (which is somewhat outdated) is that the following packages has a lot of users:

  * control
  * image
  * io
  * java (this one would be nice to have packaged as it is one that often is hard for users to install)
  * optim
  * statistics
  
My impression (no hard numbers here) is that most other packages are quite focused and hence has a smaller user  base.
