I think there is some serious selection bias. In particular, I think they mostly talked to web developers. (Of course, it's also possible that web developers now make up the majority of developers, but I'd like to see a separate study on that.) They show the "industry" breakdown, but 83% are under "technology" which is too generic to tell me anything meaningful.

Ah, they do say the people surveyed are at companies with less than 100 employees, so, yeah, there's some selection bias.



Not just web developers. Web developers on Mac OSX. Textmate's massive lead over everything else is proof positive of that.


Note also the total lack of Visual Studio. It's not even 5%? C'mon. Even just among web developers, ASP.NET is bigger than that.


Curious if git is commonly used in companies over 100 people.


Facebook uses git. Many open source projects with more than 100 contributors do too, of course.


We use git at Rackspace.
