Not really an analysis, but interesting nonetheless. Note that this only tells us about the uses of (some) HN members, and remember that the use of a particular IDE may make the user more vocal about the fact they use it.
- zengr 16y agoAny suggestions to make it more interesting? Also, renaming it to RESULTS then :)

Some things seem obvious (Java programmers will probably like Eclipse, .Net programmers are probably more likely to use Notepad++ than vim) but there may be some surprises (one of the comments suggests that Rubyists will like vim, which I hadn't thought of). It's possible you haven't collected this data; that would be a shame.
