Reading the data: This question asked how strongly the respondent agreed or disagreed with the statement. +The responses for each statement are displayed as sections of a single bar, from “strongly disagree” in deep red on the left end +to “strongly agree” in deep blue on the right end. The bars use the same scale as the rest of the graphs, +so they can (and do, especially later in the survey) vary in overall length due to lack of responses. +

+

+The ratio after the text compares the number of respondents who agreed (including “somewhat agree” and “strongly agree”) +to those who disagreed (including “somewhat disagree” and “strongly disagree”). +For example, the ratio of respondents agreeing that they would recommend Go to respondents disagreeing was 19 to 1. +The second ratio (within the brackets) is simply a weighted ratio with each somewhat = 1, agree/disagree = 2, and strongly = 4. +

Reading the data: This question asked for write-in responses. +The bars above show the fraction of surveys mentioning common words or phrases. Only words or phrases that +appeared in 20 or more surveys are listed, and meaningless common words or phrases like “the” or “to be” are omitted. +The displayed results do overlap: for example, the 402 responses that mentioned “management” do include the +266 listed separately that mentioned “dependency management” and the 79 listed separately that mentioned +“package management.” + +However, nearly or completely redundant shorter entries are omitted: there are not twenty or more surveys that listed +“dependency” without mentioning “dependency management,” so there is no separate entry for “dependency.”
