Top 10 Data Science Tools Over Time

This animated plot shows the top 10 data science tools from 2000-2019 in terms of tool usage rates by data scientists on KDnuggets.com. KDnuggets is a leading data science and analytics blog that has collected data on data science and data mining tool popularity for the past 20 years through a series of annual user surveys. Note that the values shown in the video indicate the proportion of users who used a particular data science tool within the past year. It is possible (and common) for a respondent to report using more than one data science tool, so the sum of the tools does not need to total 100%. Thanks to Gregory Piatetsky and KDNuggets for conducting the surveys and making the data available for this plot.
