This 3 sentence summary provides an overview of the key findings from the 2020 Drupal Local Development Survey: The survey received over 1000 submissions from 72 countries worldwide, with nearly half of the responses coming from the United States and Canada. It found that most Drupal development teams consist of 1-5 people working on a variety of Drupal projects, and that MacOS is the most popular operating system for Drupal development. The survey also revealed that developers primarily use PHPStorm for code development, do some form of quality assurance testing, and rely heavily on Docker for local development environments.
