I'm afraid, it looks like the results were doctored.

If you look at the total respondents for Q15 (the editor) question it must be 1102 not 849, the percentages in the chart make sense then. (ie 519/1102 = 0,47 for VIM and so on)

BUT the other questions before seem to have accurate totals around ~840.

Sorry, this isn't very likely, if you ever conducted a poll yourself you'd know that people tend to get tired quickly, a question in the middle wouldn't suddenly attract 30% more respondents.

Probably an over motivated user added 253 responses here, (most likely for the evil editor. ;-)

edit

Already the third phrase of this blog entry says: We have received 849 responses from developers from all over the world.

update

also Q23 (produced apps) and Q17 (web frameworks) have anomalies

update

this makes sense, if Q17 was manipulated consequently Q23 must be also.

Looks like a fanboy for web-apps and editors was active here.
