The number of respondents using each tool in 2013 are shown in the table below. In 2013 we took a similar survey (though not identical) and the results were quite a bit different. The results are depicted in the chart below. We took a survey of Iconfinder users recently and asked what tools they use for icon design. We would like to avoid, however, appearing to endorse any one product over another or appearing to give an authoritative opinion on the goodness or badness of any of the products. This would not be much of a software review, however, if we did not offer some conclusions and opinions on the products being reviewed. We leave judgments about which software is best to the reader to explore and decide for himself or herself. We are purveyors of information that we hope is useful in helping icon designers become better and more productive at their craft. From the beginning of this series, however, we have maintained that our objective is not to tell readers which is the best application for the job - in our case icon design - nor tell readers which application they should use.
