I'd say it's a sign of a non representative sample of IDE users. The StackOverflow survey puts NetBeans at a steady 8-9% in 2017 ( http://stackoverflow.com/insights/survey/2017 ) and 2016 ( http://stackoverflow.com/insights/survey/2016 ). It seems we grew a bit in 2017.
I doubt the Apache move (which started late 2016) has any impact. If anything, I suspect the incubation will have a negative impact short term due to the mailing list reshuffling, forum closing, websites moving, etc, etc. --emi On Mon, Apr 10, 2017 at 1:48 PM, Mark Struberg <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, forgot to add the 2nd link > > http://www.baeldung.com/java-in-2017 > > LieGrue, > strub > > > > Am 10.04.2017 um 12:36 schrieb Mark Struberg <[email protected] > >: > > > > Hi folks! > > > > Got some tweet about a Java survey today and catched a very interesting > thing. > > > > > > Those are the numbers from the 2016 survey (2200 votes in summary): > NetBeans 5.9% (133 votes) > > http://www.baeldung.com/java-ides-2016 > > > > And now the 2017 numbers (4439 votes in summary) : 12.4% (549 votes). > > > > I can only guess what caused this heavy increase of new users. > > Might it be caused by the move to real open governance? > > Or something else I missed? > > > > LieGrue, > > strub > > > >
