Those numbers are all developers overall. In the Django developers survey (i.e. web only), Windows is just above 10%. The most used platform is Linux (42%), Mac 32%, Windows with WSL (i.e. Linux in a VM) 17%, and straight up Windows is a paltry 12%. In other web frameworks the numbers are likely worse, since Django has a pretty good Windows support.

Actually, they are mostly web developers https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#developer-roles-dev-ty...

In case you are seeking anecdotal evidence: does your company employ offshore devs? Try and ask them what do they use. Outside of the few countries where most people can afford Macs, things are different.

I wonder if respondents were allowed to check more than one item on that list when answering the question? If so, there is likely a lot of double counting. Large, overarching surveys are quite difficult to create and interpret. The Django survey I quoted earlier was a worldwide survey for what it's worth.

> I wonder if respondents were allowed to check more than one item

yes, you are right, they definitely were allowed to check more than one item, we can see that the total sum of all options gives us a total of more than 100%, so that must have been the case.

But even then, it's hard to overlook the fact that the first three options in the list are related to web development, and with quite high percentages.
