Eclipse Community Survey of 2007 Results
,----[ Quote ]
| Organizations are using Eclipse for cross-platform development and
| deployment. On average they have 2.1 development platforms and 2.7 deployment
| platforms for software build using Eclipse. Windows is the most popular
| development platform, with 74% of organizations choosing Windows as their
| primary development platform, followed by Linux at 20%. However, for primary
| deployment platforms, Linux is well represented at 37%, compared with 47% on
| Windows. Given that 72% of respondents are creating server software, this may
| reflect the strength of Linux as a server operating system.
