- skrebbel 13y agoThat might say more about you than about the world's developers. I didn't see the stats, but most developers I know use Windows. Like, 60% or so. Different area, different industry?
- mavdi 13y agoI see a lot of frontend and backend developers. Node, Ruby, Java, general Frontend, Clojure, JS and not a single windows user.

- mavdi 13y agoAccording to this the demand was highest in 2005. :)
- ivanca 13y agoSorry, still true: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=nodejs%20mac%2C%20nodejs%20windows%2C%20nodejs%20linux&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=nodejs%20mac%2C%20nod...
- likeclockwork 13y agoThat's a search trend. It includes people searching for help. I'm not surprised Windows leads it for Node, it's a pain to work with most *nix software (especially that which doesn't have a point and click interface) on Windows.
- ivanca 13y agoKeep telling yourself that, specially when the spikes are the same than in Linux.
- likeclockwork 13y ago"nodejs linux" as a search string is also partially redundant.
- ivanca 13y agoIndeed, mostly because is redundant for any OS thanks to npm: npm install anything
- JeremyMorgan 13y agoIf you mean front end, yes. The majority of front end devs are working on Macs and pushing to code to Linux servers. But there is still a ton of .Net activity on the backend and big enterprise. They're trying to bridge that gap and increase their share.
- mavdi 13y agoI'm in the learning and publishing industry. Our company has always been an MS stronghold and even here most greenfield projects are written in Node or other emerging technologies. I am a bit biased against Microsoft I have to admit, but I do believe they are on their way out of many industries. It's a down facing trend however you look at it.
- yulaow 13y agoAre we talking about windows for their workstations or for their servers? In the first case I see a LOT of devs using windows as main os, I can easily say the big part of them use it. My last job was in a full lamp 3yo startups and ironically I was the only one who had a second partition with linux on my laptop. All the other devs where on windows7/8 and only 2 on osx. In case of server yes, usally you use windowsServer only if you use asp.net or maybe node.js. It however depens Anyway if you want to just use Azure Websites it is really nice to have all those Sdks for visual studio.
- outside1234 13y agoWhat? This is an attempt to sell Visual Studio by making it relevant to what developers are using!
