Cross-checked the top posts for React and Elm in the last 24 hours on HN and /r/programming...8 for 8. :applause: ok, this could make my morning click-around way quicker. Good find!

Nahhh, the _most_ important thing is to use what works for you and your project. Any time you don't do that->eventual regret

Actually, the reason Visual Studio Code didn't make these rankings is because the stackshare page wasn't created until mid-2016. Since the rankings were heavily weighted to tech stack inclusion, VSC's numbers were a bit skewed. We do our best to keep up with requests to add tools, but as you could imagine there are _a lot_ of requests.

Since we aggregated data across all users, our "web" tools definitely shone through (as you might imagine, there are more web devs than native on stackshare), but given that we included all tools we felt it was more accurate as a description of the methodology.

Do you think it would be valuable for us to segment these rankings further next time? Create a couple different rankings?

Originally we thought the same thing, but we wanted to remove as much bias from the analysis as possible, so we opted to keep all tools in the running. Since the weighted rank was based heavily on tech stack inclusion, we felt it was more valuable to keep the raw rankings.

For trending, we calculated tech stack growth over the past 6 months for each tool. I wish we had time to pull in job data, but the data pull was going to delay the article a while and there are some core features we were itching to get at (there's only 6 of us on the team). Not saying this is a perfect list, but it's a snapshot of the data we have and felt it was a good indication of what developers/teams are using.

Didn't expect to see this on HN today. I helped run the analysis, so feel free to direct any questions about the methodology my way!

I don't...wait...hold on. How is PHP that high on the list?!

Love that developer who laid down some real talk to the CTO - "Just because it's the dominant platform doesn't mean it's right. React is going to beat Angular one of these days."

I can't tell you how many times I have this exact conversation. Choose tools to solve problems, not because someone else is using it!

Marshall from StackShare here - we hate crawling through 5 million emails to find good developer deals each year, so we built this list of the best Cyber Monday discounts on SaaS tools, books, courses, and more. Some of the ones we like:

- Codeship: 25% off first 2 months (Code: CMUL25FOR2)

- Paw: 50% off immediately

- Commando.io: 15% off any plan for life (Code: USERLIKECYBER)

- Cloud Academy: All plans 50% off

We'll be updating the list as the day moves on, so if you have any killer deals you find feel free to share 'em.
