And R leads the pack.

“For the first time, the number of users of free/open source software exceeded the number of users of commercial software. The usage of Big data software grew five-fold. R, Excel, and RapidMiner were the most popular tools, with Statsoft Statistica getting the top commercial tool spot.”

The sample is arguably skewed, but arguably the skew over-represents users at the forefront of the field.

It would be interesting to compare the numbers of several previous years in a single chart.
