Ever wonder which way early adopters are leaning in terms of the technologies they use in the .NET Framework? If so, the results of a new survey should interest you. ASP.NET WebForms managed to win the competition, and ASP.NET MVC landed mid-pack.
Scott Hanselman has apparently been running a sort of poll on Twitter for a couple of years, and this time around, his question garnered 1,250 responses. That’s not a bad number – a lot of formal surveys don’t even try to approach half as many people – and given that Twitter tends to be popular with techies, looking for answers on the site seems like a pretty good idea.
On to the results, then. As mentioned earlier, ASP.NET WebForms came out on top with 723 shows of support. Ajax was the closest-scoring alternative, as 629 individuals mentioned it. Next was WCF with 609 votes, and then we get to ASP.NET MVC with its 553 votes.
If you’re curious, WinForms, Silverlight, and WPF rounded out the seven-member group, with 516, 398, and 386 people referencing them, respectively.
A bit hat tip goes to Kathleen Richards, and it looks like the ASP.NET community can pat itself on the back, too.
