#2I like the stats on the home page. A 53% response rate seems really good.

#3Super interesting. Lots of data there.
Two things that stood out from a quick once-over:
Vue is doing better than I expected.
PostCSS is less adopted than I expected.

Is it me, or is 89 questions a lot of questions? I wonder if the number of questions cuts down on the response rate.
edit: I assume it does, but what is the tipping point?

#5Great job on the interactive presentation.

#6Great report.
I'm very satisfied with Clojurescript.

#7This seems to suggest the rate of framework churn has rather settled down. Are JS devs finally starting to be satisfied with their current tools and not needing to restart every 18 months?

I don't remember the phrasing of the question but it could very well be that a lot of the cssnext answers use PostCSS as well...
That doesn't mean that it has huge usage anyway though.

I see this same, tired old meme in every thread about web technologies.
It's funny to me that certain people are so disdainful of the churn in web development on a forum dedicated to "hackers". Web application development is hard, and the reason why there's so much churn is because smart, inventive people are constantly finding better ways to do things. Things aren't just resetting from scratch every 18 months. The web apps I'm working on today are way more modular, composable, testable, and maintainable than the ones I was writing as little as two or three years ago. Just because Java systems development hasn't changed significantly in the last 5 years doesn't mean Java devs are any more or less reasonable developers than web folks.
