No real surprises there. Actually, I only included the most popular ones in terms of number of developers rating them - when you go outside that list there are some people far less happy with their tools! > I find the first graph pretty useless, though.

I'm not entirely sold on stacked column graphs in general for exactly that reason, although it's really the only option Infogram offers for visualising a table of that nature. If you're not on a desktop browser then you can hover over the individual segments to see their numeric values directly for comparison.

Yes, I do take these things with a grain of salt (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_of_salt>)... it's interesting that all the tools seem to group together pretty well in terms of user satisfaction in all areas, so my take-away there is that developers are generally happy with what they know and use. No real surprises there. I find the first graph pretty useless, though. While it's marginally useful to know that the total is the sum of its parts, it's almost impossible to do comparisons of any of the parts except the bottom one because of the staggered sections. ...and I'm surprised that Adobe AIR gets such high ratings. Having been stuck using it for the last couple of years, I have developed a lot of sympathy for Colin. -- Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
