Like most things there are different breeds of engineer, the ones I worked with in manufacturing in the 90s had almost no programming skills!

Well...they are all different languages, which share a common syntax base.
C is a subset of C++, I'll grant you: but C# is a very different beastie from C++ and if you try to treat the one like the other it'll end in tears...

Yes, different languages, common base. Commodore BASIC, VAX BASIC, GW-BASIC, VBA, VBScript, VB.NET... all different languages, one common base.
However, for the survey, they are all lumped together, unlike the C derivatives.

The answer is obviously BASIC right?

C/C++ is the only way to go, if you really want to program! (I like other languages, but I still use C/C++)

No Visual Basic?

It's lumped in with the other variants, like all the C++ versions are together.

Have you tried IntelliJ?

Not from a personal experience. I just know that many people who dislike eclipse have a much better opinion of IntelliJ.

IntelliJ is a huge improvement over Eclipse. I started out with Eclipse about two years ago when I took on Android development. While Android Studio is still somewhat unstable, it is getting better and better.
I am a C# programmer at heart and still believe VS to be the best IDE ever. But, when I develop for Android, Android Studio is the tool of choice.

Surprised to see that C has almost as many votes as Java. Next to C#, Java is one of the most sought after languages in my area's local job market.

That's different from being somebody's favorite language

CodeProject certainly has a C/C++/C# bias.
|
|
|
|

If Java had a better IDE, it would get a lot more love.
|

That Python hasn't gotten more votes here... excellent and powerful language that it is.
I too dabbled in pacifism once.

If you browse the discussions and quick answers on the site you will see that there is even no section for Python. This means there are not much Pythonians visiting the site and thus no one to vote despite the beauty of Python. There are a lot of articles about C# and also for C++ and this attracts C# and C++ programmers, so it is normal most of them to votes to be for C# and C++. Ask the same question in Python forum and I bet Python will be their favorite language
