Satisfaction, interest, usage, and awareness ratio rankings.

Technologies with less than 10% awareness not included. Each ratio is defined as follows:

  • Interest: want to learn / (want to learn + not interested)
  • Usage: (would use again + would not use again) / total
  • Awareness: (total - never heard) / total

Overview of opinions on the technologies surveyed over time.

Technologies with only one year of data are not included.

This chart splits positive (“want to learn”, “would use again”) vs negative (“not interested”, “would not use again”) experiences on both sides of a central axis.

My 2020 Pick: PurgeCSS

One thing I've really started using and appreciating this year though is Purge CSS- an awesome tool for removing unused CSS. It can greatly reduce the size of your CSS, and its fast and easy to use.
