it prove your statement that they're all using MACs.
I never said that they are all using MACs. Nor there is a way to know they are all using MACs. But whoever I have came in contact with were all using MACs. That's why I am not surprised with the survey results.
ok, no, you didn't say ALL, but you did say "Most of them use Mac over a PC." there's no way you could know that.

lol. I can believe that, but are you saying you've come in contact with "Most of them?"

The result says OS of choice, Mac OS 51% vs Windows 41%... Looks like 'web designers' survey instead of 'web developers' :)

We have IE as supported browser for all the products, so F12 in IE replaces Firebug...

I came across this survey: http://www.webdirections.org/sotw10/[^] It is pretty interesting and it seems lot of hard work went into presenting the details. The results I am not surprised about: 1. jQuery is the king of JavaScript libraries. 2. FireFox is preferred browser for development. I think it is mainly due to FireBug. 3. Webkit is gaining grounds. 4. PHP still rules Other than that, it is anybody's guess on how seriously this survey should be taken. I wonder if Kent has not posted this in Insider. Unfortunately, I am not getting Insider emails even though I am subscribed to it.

No surprise there.

That's the main reason I even use FireFox. FireBug has me way too spoiled to dev in anything else. IE's dev tools suck in comparison.

I'm actually glad to see that. As much as I like Mozilla, I think having the competition back is good for innovation.

And it will for a long time out too. I just hope the PHP guys will be able to keep up with MS now since they've taken a real interest in web languages.

http://obamacaretruth.org/Well at some time you have to extrapolate based on your experience. It may or may not true. But at least this survey and experience of some other people validates what I extrapolated.

Not gonna happen by osmosis, you have to start using it. :)
Yes, you are right.

You have no accurate basis for extrapolation. Or you can word things more accurately. If you had said, "All of the ones I came in contact with" or "Most of the ones I came in contact with" blah blah blah. Then I would have had no argument.

Yes, you are right.
I spent one Saturday writing jQuery code to manage an order item table 100% clientside. I pretty much learnt enough jQuery to accomplish most common tasks that day.

Are you shitting me?! What a joke of a survey. :laugh: OS of choice: Mac OS X - 51% Windows (all versions) - 41 %
I agree. I've only worked at one company that even had Macs. Then again, it said they asked designers and developers, but didn't say how many of each...many designers do use Macs. But, programmers? No way! Mac has <10% of the market, there is NO WAY that >50% of web developers use them! They must have been very biased in who they asked. X|

"I'm excited today to announce that Microsoft will be shipping jQuery with Visual Studio going forward." http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/09/28/jquery-and-microsoft.aspx[^]
That's very big of Microsoft, seeing how hard to was to get hold of jQuery before this arrangement. It is kind of cool that MS are effectively pushing jQuery.
