FWIW–

the calculations on the “which tools?” question data are incorrect from a % point of view.

Since users could select more than one tool, the total should be more than 100%, yet the %’s total out to 100%. There were 570 survey takers, but 1174 responses to this question…

Here’s the recalc using the 570 divisor, not 1174.
/* Tool Response Count %


Eclipse          289               51

renam00: Thanks for pointing that out. That was an oversight on our part, and we removed the spreadsheet as soon as we noticed it. We’re going to excise the email addresses and put it back up.

I use notepad a surprising amount in my day to day work. While its rarely used for ‘heavy’ development, if I just need a spot to dump copy/pasted text for a moment, or don’t need a full-fledged word processor I find myself loading up notepad rather frequently.
