Visual Studio was the most popular developer environment tool for web developers, desktop developers, 
and data scientists—but not for sysadmins/DevOps, who preferred Vim above all else. Notepad++ was 
popular across the board.

The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. 
The index is updated once a month. The ratings are based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, 
courses and third party vendors. Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, 
Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings. It is important to note that the TIOBE 
index is not about the best programming language or the language in which most lines of code have been 
written.
