With all the talk of Vim vs. Emacs, it surprises me that Emacs is in the low single digits, while Vim is 25% of all respondents. It does not surprise me that it is 40% (and #1) amongst sysadmin/devops practitioners.
Btw surprised to see "contributing to OSS" at ~50%. Looks like an incredibly high number (cit. Trump), so would be awesome to see this question more fine grained next time. This may be an indirect measure of all the work that goes into OSS to make it sustainable.
I would like to see: kind of contribution (Opening issues, PR, managing a project, ...) and average hours spent per week.
I’m actually surprised that around 64% of the developers are having a “Computer science, computer engineering, or software engineering” degree. I do my personal statistics for colleagues I’ve met and the percentage having no degree or degree in another field is around 7 out of 10. Maybe that’s because I primarily work for startups and do my survey in the startup culture, but still it’s fascinating how much of those d…
People tend to put in the most relevant one anyway when given the exclusive choice.

But still, I'd say the percentage of career changers is much higher than in most other fields.
Rust wins "Most loved" for the third year in row!
This shows how much power opinions have.
I don't believe that "Almost half of professional developers contribute to open source projects.", even if you count every single half baked unfinished project on Github as contributing to open source.
Contributions include bug submissions and (were possible) comments in RFCs, right?
Plus, calling bug submissions as open source contribution is a stretch. You would not call "contributing to close source" when someone reports a bug to a company.

And yet corporates still don't use it and schools don't teach it. This shows how much power opinions have.
Or how little power developer opinions have.
Then again, -managing developers is like herding cats I heard so I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of small Rust projects hidden in the undergrowth.
