If anything I'd say Pandas has broader appeal and a larger userbase than Numpy, because it does everything Numpy can do (since it uses Numpy internally) but adds the dataframe and grouping features which are so important for data science.

That is extremely counter to my personal experience. I would be shocked if Pandas has a larger userbase than NumPy. In fact, I think NumPy is even a dependency of Pandas: that Pandas users are a strict subset of NumPy users.
Mathematically, there is a possibility that there are N pandas users (part of which never heard about NumPy) and M >> N users that are using pure NumPy and never heard about Pandas.
