For what its worth, the next sentence after that is: > A reminder, though, that 60% of our survey takers are GitLab users.

So the odd thing is that extra 1% who are not gitlab users, but still say it's their most-used tool for CI and build... without using it.

  It’s only odd if you assume 100% of the surveyed companies have a CI and build infrastructure set up. Quite possibly some percentage is only using it for source control and doesn’t have an automated CI process in place at all.

    Wouldn't that only make sense with the percentages reversed (61% are users, 60% say it's their most used)? Otherwise, there are more companies where it's "most used" then there are that use it at all.

      Ok, sure, example with numbers: --------------------------------- Set A: 100 companies are surveyed 60/100 companies use GitLab (60%) --------------------------------- Set B: 82 of the surveyed companies use a CI solution of some kind 50/82 of those companies use GitLab CI (61%) --------------------------------- The two percentages make sense because Set A and Set B is not the same set of companies, hence the denominator is not the same in the two percentage calculations.

        > Fully 61% of companies say GitLab is their most used tool for CI and build It's possible that I'm taking their statement too literally, but it seems a little misleading to me to use "fully 61% of companies" without additional qualification to refer to "61% of companies that use CI" when a sizable portion of companies (e.g. 18%) don't use CI at all.

  I'm guess it is companies vs users. Some big companies that don't use gitlab, but have more people responding to the survey, would skew it.

  I wonder how many survey responders AND result readers are confused by the software being called gitlab and the hosted repo SaaS offering being called gitlab vs community local installs of gitlab

  Not sure what "using GitLab" means in context, but I use GitLab CI via their GitHub mirroring support.
