84% satisfaction, and climbing

One of the few whose satisfaction is going up rather than down. Quietly winning while louder projects argue.

86% satisfaction, enthusiasm cooling

Still loved by the people using it, but the share saying so fell from 45% to 29%. Settling into being normal.

83.6% use it · positive sentiment 68% → 31%

Used by nearly everyone and enjoyed by fewer every year. Ubiquity and affection are not the same measurement.

48% satisfaction

Below half its own users. It is not going away — enterprise never does — but nobody is choosing it fresh.

94% satisfaction

The clearest upward line on the chart. Sending no JavaScript by default turned out to be what people wanted.

80% satisfaction

Does its job and gets on with it. If Vue is the choice, this is the server-side answer.

58.6% use it · satisfaction down 13 points

The 13th most loved project and the 5th most hated at once, and it generated more comments than anything else. That is not a healthy shape.

84.4% use it · 98% satisfaction

The rarest combination in the survey: almost everyone uses it and almost everyone is happy. About to take the top spot outright.

53.8% use it · 88% satisfaction

Mostly reached through something else, and content there.

86.4% use it · satisfaction 82% → 26%

The most-used build tool and one of the least liked. A decade of config nobody wants to open again.

97% satisfaction · +14 points of usage in a year

The fastest adoption in the survey. It already understands your build, which is most of why.

94% satisfaction · +14 points of usage

Took the end-to-end slot and is not giving it back.

74.4% use it · satisfaction 79% → 19%

One of the steepest falls in the whole survey. Still installed everywhere, chosen almost nowhere.

57% satisfaction, falling

Lost its slot to Playwright and has not answered.

91% satisfaction, new top tier

Runtime, bundler and test runner in one. Early, but the people who tried it stayed.

95% satisfaction, new top tier

Small, fast, runs anywhere including the edge. The one to watch if you need endpoints of your own.

79.9% use it · 81% satisfaction

Ancient and still fine. Nobody regrets it, which after this many years is the compliment.

80.4% use it — most used and most loved

Went from impossible to ordinary in about two years. If you are still working around it, stop.

the single largest jump in usage this year

One line that fixes the orphan word at the end of a heading. Cheapest typographic win available.

+23% awareness in a year

Two values, one property, no duplicated stylesheet for dark mode.

76.2% use it

The padding-top hack is dead and nobody misses it.

second in sentiment, still low adoption

Loved by the few who reach for it. Aligning nested grids stops being a fight.
