Web framework usage statistics

Sooo.... only 8 of the top 10,000 websites are using Silverlight? :doh: I find that hard to believe.
Yeah... me too! However, the RIA Stats[^] looks better for Silverlight ;)

I guess those 8 sites must be really important (*cough* Netflix *cough*) if all those people have Silverlight installed. :rolleyes:

This website[^] provides interesting statics about the usage of web frameworks, including third-party/commercial frameworks. It shows the percentage of usage (e.g. Silverlight only 0.08%!) and the fastest growing frameworks.

What I found interesting there was that the percentage of usage of each framework didn't change much between the to million and the top 10,000. It also shocked me that sites built with MS Frontpage and Fontpage Extensions made the top million.

So - if I we had a site built with ASP.Net which implemented a Flash or SilverLight control where would it show in these stats? Are Flash or SilverLight even considered to be frameworks in this context? Methinks the numbers should not add up to 100% therefore methinks the numbers are wrong!

That's true.

One explanation could be that many shared hosting provider using this feature by default.

"If a man speaks in a forest where there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?"In such a scenario (ASP.NET & Silverlight) you have to consider both values. That would explain that PHP and ASP.NET are way ahead of. [Edit] You should compare only comparable technologies, for example which commercial framework is most used. [/Edit]

Cant fathom why PHP (Pretty Horrid Programming) is so popular... must be because its free

Considering that Silverlight is heavily targetted as LOB development now, this is not surprising. Sites like this are largely meaningless because they do not present the whole picture, or even half the picture.

Good point Pete. However, Silverlight was originally conceived as a competitor to Adobe Flash (9%). For the development of our new product (targeting the public web), we've investigated more then 2 person-years in Silverlight. Last year we switched to ASP.NET AJAX! Silverlight is - from the strategical point of view - a disaster!
