Evolution of Data Viz Tools (2017 - 2022)

Created by: Kelsey Nanan

While the DVS SOTI survey has been fine-tuned over the years, a few questions have been consistently asked, allowing us to look at the evolution of certain aspects of this blossoming field. This visualization presents the evolution of tools & technologies reported used by data viz practitioners from 2017 to 2022. What tools are used most each year? Which has gained/declined most in popularity over time? How has a specific tool's usage changed over time? By sorting & hovering on this visualization, we can find the answers to these questions and more. In essence, this can be thought of as a dynamic data portrait of the DVS, as seen through the lens of the tools we use for our craft.
