It's really hard to compare results between both polls. It would be nice if pg added the percentages next to each item, or at least sort them.

Here is a graph of this poll: http://koldfront.dk/misc/hn/database2011/data.png

... and one of the 2010 poll: http://koldfront.dk/misc/hn/database2010/data.png

(Updated every ~4 hours currently; I will be fading out the update rate.)

The bars are different sizes and in different orders, this makes it much harder to compare by flipping between browser tabs.

They reflect the polls, so they also tell you that the polls didn't have the same choices.

The two sets of data ought to be shown in the same graph, really.

Edit: I have now joined the two years in one graph, and plot the percentages to make it easy to see the change: http://koldfront.dk/misc/hn/database/data.png

Very surprising thing is the upward change in Microsoft SQL Server, that too in HN.

On a lighter note, does this support the theory of HNers who complain that HN is not the same any more and it has been generalized?

Maybe more Microsoft SQL Server users follow Hacker News now than before?
