![]() What's interesting about these results is the number of respondents choosing to use an off-the-shelf CSS framework (51.82%) compared to those who are choosing to either use something custom or use no framework at all (48.17%), which is a fairly even split. So the question asked was – Please indicate which of the following CSS frameworks you use most frequently on your projects (if any).īy far the most popular CSS framework is Bootstrap, with just over a third of respondents (34.96%) using it. ![]() The part of these results I was most interested to see was how many developers are using an off-the-shelf solution, in comparison to those who are either choosing not to use a framework or working with something more custom. This next question came as a result of feedback to last year's survey, with a number of people interested in finding out about CSS Framework usage. Both Less and Stylus knowledge levels trended down compared with 2016. Looking at the rest of these tools, only PostCSS saw a positive gain from the 2016 results, with 16.46% of respondents saying that they feel comfortable using it – up 3.02%. Combined with the results from Question 3, it's clear that Sass is still the dominant tool when it comes to CSS Processing. Only 9.19% of respondents replied that they had never used it with just 0.2% of people having never heard of it at all. ![]() The question asked was – Roughly how long have you been working with front-end technologies?Īs you might have expected following the results from the previous question, Sass is the tool with by far the highest knowledge levels.ħ2.86% of respondents indicated that they feel comfortable using it, with this figure up slightly (+2.17%) from the 2016 survey.

Therefore, they shouldn’t be taken as gospel, simply as pointing towards a rough trend.Īs mentioned above, this year's survey received 5,461 responses. These results represent a sample of front-end developers working in the industry. So, without further ado, let’s get onto the results! Make yourself comfortable and let’s take a look… You'll find links to some of these courses where relevant throughout the results. Whether you’re just starting out in web development, or an experienced developer looking to level-up your skillset, I'd highly recommend checking out Wes's courses. Wes is renowned for creating awesome learning materials for web developers. This survey would be impossible to run without the support it receives from our affiliates Wes Bos and Just Eat (my employer).

Thanks to all of you who have taken part!Įach year the survey has a pretty straight-forward aim to shed light on the the tools that front-end developers are using right now in our industry. Since launching this year's Front-End Tooling Survey in March, 5,461 front-end developers have taken the time to fill it in. Since publishing the initial results, I've updated the survey after receiving 5,461 responses and updated the article and results data to reflect this.
