A few weeks ago, we launched the Symfony Community Survey 2017 to know more
about you and how do you use Symfony. We received 2,811 answers and we'd like to thank
you all for taking the time to fill in the survey. These results are invaluable for us and they
will help us make better decisions.
As with any Open-Source project, contributing
code or documentation is the most common way to help, but we also have a wide range of
sponsoring opportunities.
@Christopher technically may not be an OR question, but the logic we applied was: do you (container || virtualization) OR (none of that) so that's why we treated as an OR question.
* 83% of developers don't use Symfony-based projects (Drupal, eZ Platform, etc.)
* Only 7% of developers don't have side-projects
* 27% of developers don't contribute back to Symfony for "other reasons" (I'd love to know those "other reasons")
* 60% of developers train monthly or bi-monthly
@Tomáš Votruba : the most surprising result to me was on the "Do you use OS virtualization or containerization while developing Symfony applications?" question. I am surprised that most of Symfony developers don't use tools like Vagrant or Docker.
Maybe that's related to the fact that a majority uses Linux and they use the same Linux version on their servers. But for Windows and Mac users, I am even more surprised!
quick side note:
"Do you use OS virtualization or containerization while developing Symfony applications?" is not a yes-or-no question ;)
Question to all: what was most surprising result for you?
For me, that 60 % of people go to workshop at least once a 2 months.
In our country it's more like ~15 %.
@Tomáš Votruba: For me it was that PhpStorm is mainly used for Symfony development.

to the last moment I was hoping to see Eclipse as IDE..
