There’s a ton of other questions, such as about visual studio (on windows, where else), loved stacks (.Net leads a category…likely most of that is dev on windows). Look at C#, Azure, ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, Teams over slack and all in that category, and on and on.

And calling teams low in the desired section is such an odd assessment. It’s 3rd out about 2 dozen, and you ignore other highly desired items like .Net being #1 in its category, visual studio 4th of about 2 dozen, and others.

So yes, the data backs up that a lot of devs are on windows and that a lot want to use tech that windows devs use. That you so misrepresent one category and ignore others is not a very good way to understand the evidence, which far outweighs any one persons opinion in this thread.

I said it ranks low in "admired" (i.e., those who use it and want to continue using it). Less than 50% of those using it want to continue using it despite it being the most "popular" by a significant percentage. If everyone had their choice, Teams would drop heavily in popularity.

Regardless, it was just an example of how "popularity" doesn't mean anything because most people don't have a choice in their day jobs.
