Poll Results: Coding Environments

Posted: August 6th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: General | 1 Comment »

Results from our developer poll are in:

Pie chart displaying the types of coding environments developers use and the percentage of poll respondents who used each environment.

What does this tell us?

At the very least, it shows that developers are shifting away from some of the more popular commercial tools such as Dreamweaver and Coda, and performing their coding tasks in old-school editors such as Vim (I remember using Vim years ago when I started to learn HTML) and Emacs.

While the sampling size is incredibly small (19 respondents), this type of data is invaluable when it comes to helping software companies understand the features users are looking for in an editor.

So, back to you, dear reader. Which editor do you like, and why?

(As an aside, we tried to locate a website for the BURP editor, but we couldn’t find one. ;) )
