    Compare these survey results with this other survey of Embedded Linux developers. Despite the large and growing popularity of embedded Linux among developers, the new survey found that fewer than 20% of developers rated Embedded Linux toolsets "good" and only 5% rated them "excellent". More than 60% indicated that their toolsets are "not very good" or "adequate" thus showing a need for better tools.
