| The percentage of people who see a breakage during a routine compiler update has stayed the same since last year, with 7.4% saying they’ve experienced breakage. | ||

If 5991 users took the survey and assuming most of them responded to the previous question, then 7.4% * 5991 = 443 users have experienced breakage from a stable compiler upgrade. This chart shows about twice that many responses (~900). Given that the question is worded "if so", let's omit answers from users who have not experienced breakage.
If the extra 450 people all responded "1", then this becomes a very different graph.

@dtolnay - sometimes people selected "1" to mean "it didn't happen to me" in addition to "it happened to me and I fixed it". I could pivot and remove the extraneous ones.

Okay, I haven't merged in Mainland Chinese yet, but here's what the others filtered for "Yes" there was breakage:
So it's a different story. Will replace the chart with an updated one when I do the combination.

| We’re seeing similar numbers in users of the current stable release since last year. Perhaps surprisingly, we’re continuing to see a rise in the number of users who use the Nightly compiler in their workflow. For the second year in a row, Nightly usage has continued to rise, and is now over 56% (up from 51.6% of last year). |

Did we happen to ask why folks use nightly?

We did! I put some examples in the latest draft.

| Looking closer at these users who feel unproductive in Rust, only about 25% are in their first month of use. The challenge here is to find ways to help bridge users to productivity so they don't get stuck. |

Did we happen to ask why folks feel unproductive, specifically?

We didn't ask, unfortunately
