'Best Open Source Developer Software of 2018' Chosen By InfoWorld (infoworld.com)
This week InfoWorld unveiled their annual list of "the leading open source projects for software development, cloud computing, big data, and machine learning."
[E]ven as we grapple with the likes of microservice architecture, distributed data processing frameworks, deep neural networks, and "dapps," we remain steadfast in our commitment to bring you -- this year and every year -- the best that open source has to offer.
In this year's edition, you'll find our picks for the best open source software development tools, cloud computing platforms, databases and data analytics tools, and machine learning and deep learning libraries. From Kubernetes and Docker to TensorFlow and PyTorch (49 projects in all), these are the projects that are ushering in the next stage of enterprise computing.
An anonymous reader writes: Their choices for the best open source software for software development include .NET Core, Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, and Jenkins, as well as programming languages like Kotlin, Julia, and Rust. ("By now it's something of a cliche to talk about Rust as the next step beyond C and C++. So be it...") And their final award for best open source development software went, surprisingly, to Vanilla JS.
"Some clever wag created a website that promises that the Vanilla JS library will be the smallest JS framework you'll ever use and then delivers a zip file with zero bytes of code along with the suggestion that you should just use the built-in function calls in JavaScript to manipulate the DOM."

The company I work for has similar lists of things you're allowed to use, written by managers. Here's a list of things I read about in CIO Magazine, such quality, much open source.
Yea, didn't even have to read the article to know the winner would be a joke.
Who didn't deal with DOM manipulation issues in all the preceding browser versions which is the entire reason there are so many content display frameworks for browsers to begin with.
That said, for modern code with no expectation of legacy browser support, it is definitely the preferable method, unless a mess of exceptions or bugs come up again.
everyone has their opinions. this is theirs.
The list is obviously worthless or actually identifies really bad software...
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
Editor's picks are opinions reflect editorial priorities, which include making a buck. They don't validate anything.
Which products are best is a question that can be answered two possible ways. The first is to canvass impartial experts who follow these things but have no vested interest in the answer -- if you can find such a rare beast.
The second is crowd sourcing. You could do a statistically defensible sampling of what people are actually using, and then figure out what is gaining and losing ground and why.
Post may contain irony: discontinue use if experiencing mood swings, nausea or elevated blood pressure.
> What's popular isn't necessarily good.
Exactly. The most popular food brand in the world is probably McDonald's, certainly it's the most popular burger.
If that's not convincing enough, half the United States likes that other political party, and we all know how awful that party is.
It's awful! An also-ran to Eclipse and Sublime.
.Net and visual studio, seriously? I can't think of one useful opensource project that uses either of these.
where the list of software best ,nd have test review ?

Free Software developers of the world, open your eyes! Our communities are bring raped, our work pillaged.
Detestable villains - mean spirited, bigoted, belligerent, vicious - are using underhanded tricks to force hypocritical "Codes of Conduct" on the projects we built.
The only purpose of these CoCs is to allow so-called "Progressives" to conduct witch hunts against anyone who opposes them. Thereby they plan to steal our work for their shadowy corporate paymasters.
You can readily tell these CoCs are not about "just being nice" - because they are ALWAYS supported by the very LEAST NICE, most aggressively mean and shamelessly bigoted people you can imagine.
If a project to which you contribute has been raped by CoC-mongers there is a simple solution: WALK AWAY. Never contribute again. If you have a patch almost ready, count the time you spent on it as a loss and throw it away. If you see a security issue, remain silent and do nothing. IT'S NO LONGER YOUR PROJECT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME THERE.
If you are evaluating new software, don't even consider any projects burdened under the tyranny of a CoC. It doesn't matter if they are technically superior - just don't consider them. Never be openly political, always make up a technical reason for rejecting CoCed projects.
Don't argue in public about the CoC. Doing so only exposes you to needless risk. You might be dis-employed, blackballed, and even set up for a #MeToo purge. Just stay far away.
Comrades: Individually we are powerless, and easily crushed beneath the iron boot of Corporate Social Just-Us. But together in solidarity we are millions and we are strong. The very Internet itself depends on our collective labor. If we stop working, the internet stops working.
Free Software developers, save yourselves and save your communities! Just WALK AWAY from any project with a CoC. Without our labor they are nothing.
