#33People are generally happy with the development of JS the trends of always improving languages along with frameworks makes developing with JS makes developer increase in happiness for the third time in a row. ES6 is good, TypeScript is gaining ground, people are moving away from Flow. Angular is dead? Most don't even want to touch it again ( Great ).

Regarding GraphQL, I think the reason is at least partially that there aren't too many applications that actually benefit from the all-dynamic approach of it. It's neat and useful in certain applications, but I wouldn't use it everywhere. The tooling isn't quite there yet also in my opinion, but the friction will probably go away with time.

#34I get these surveys every year and every year I find myself unable to complete them because the choices you can select are awful - I forget what, exactly, but none of the choices apply.

#35As a student currently studying and working in Berlin I wonder why Vue and specifically Angular are way more popular than React. Looking at local job posting Java and Angular seem to be king for almost everything. How come?

Loved? Well, it's a point of view. I personally hate it, due to the tooling and the dependency management (npm and yarn are catastrophic, an "hello world" example with React downloads on average more than 100 packages).
As much as I dislike Javascript OP is right. The latest stack overflow survey[1] puts #7 on most loved languages and it's not even in top 25 most dreaded ones.

#37I guess people with javascript turned off are not the target market for this site, but I found this humorous: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2v31s94&s=9#.W_KD0idx2Rs
I find it amusing that your post links to a page which itself doesn't work without javascript. :)

Popularity with developers who reply to surveys is not the only factor in whether it is used. There's loads of sites that would need maintaining already written in Angular.

#40Co-author of the survey here, thanks for posting! Happy to answer any questions :) (As long as the question is not something along the lines of "My favorite library Foo.js is doing pretty poorly in your survey, surely there must be an issue with your methodology?")
