The interesting aspect is that there’s no one dominant language or platform. What does dominate the survey is open source, which comprises 80% of the platform responses, 84% of the Ajax framework responses, and 59% of the development tools responses. With the tools, Dreamweaver remains popular among designers, but a quarter of the responses were simple text editors. When asked what causes the most pain in web development, the first answer was overwhelmingly “browser compatibility”, followed by “testing”.

I find it very interesting that Dreamweaver still rules the roost for design.  I was always a Golive guy myself.  Now, I’m in the text editor crowd.  Okay I use Microsoft Expression Web to work on style sheets, but that’s only because I got it at Gnomedex.

Okay then, tools of choice…what do you find yourself working with for design and development the most?
