The chart that is included is ridiculous. There's no label on the Y-axis at all, and zero indication of what it is we're supposed to take away from it.

Professor Tufte is weeping somewhere.

Here it is with visual studio and intellij terms overlayed.

Hi @jdludlow. The Graph is from Google Trends, that unfortunately does not provide labels for the Y-axis.

So it's a comparative chard only, you can check it out here: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=cloud%20ide%2C%20desk....

That chart does leave a lot to interpretation. I believe this article does a better job of really articulating the state of the market. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-market-size-of-cloud-IDEs-...
why don't tesla use charts comparing searches for "internal combustion engine car" vs "electric car".

no one searches for the term "desktop ide" because the only people that call them that are people in the cloud ide marketing game. the terms are junk. the axises are junk. the chart is junk.
