The most-dreaded languages are also a regular rogue's gallery. God, people hate VBA. People still writing Perl in 2020 are probably at least partially to blame for their own suffering.

In most-loved frameworks, no surprise to see React, and as usual Vue outperforms its actual usage in terms of how liked it is, good sign for them. What the hell is http://ASP.Net  doing up there? Gatsby also making an impressive showing.

Here in most-dreaded frameworks, sad days for both flavors of Angular. http://ASP.Net  and http://ASP.Net  Core are apparently different? People hate the former and love the latter. Could a Microsoft person explain? Interesting to see Drupal so unloved.

In database land, Redis and Postgres are loved, followed by Elastic and a surprisingly high rating for Mongo. Interesting to see MariaDB (the reborn MySQL) climbing the ranks.

I didn't know anybody was still using DB2 but they hate it. Oracle devs also not happy campers.

A strange category called "platforms" includes Linux, Docker, AWS, and Raspberry Pi? I guess those are all technically platforms but not for the same thing. Anyway, people love them.

The most-dreaded platform is bad news for everybody in the top 4: WordPress, IBM Cloud, Heroku, and Slack.

A number that is by now familiar to me but tends to surprise silicon valley devs is that close to half of all devs use Windows as their primary OS. If you're building dev tools that only work on Mac/Linux you're throwing away a lot of people.

It's a shame they captured only usage and not loved/dreaded for collaboration tools because let me tell you that Jira's usage and how much people like it are VERY different. Gitlab is a bigger deal than I would have expected.

Fun to compare highest-paid languages (in the US) with the most-dreaded languages. Objective-C: the devil's bargain. If I were optimizing for a cash/misery trade-off Go seems the obvious choice.

Depending how much time you spend staring at graphs it will either be obvious or very surprising to you that ~50% of people work at companies smaller than 100 people. I often hear from people who think of very large companies as the norm.

When job hunting, men (left) and women (right) have very different priorities. Men care most about the tech, but women prioritize office environment and flex time above that. This is because men never have to fight for an environment that welcomes them.

(Non-binary folks were asked the above question separately; their priorities closely matched women)

That's all, folks!
