A bit suprising for me is high place of Perforce. Another strange
thing (and a bit alarming) is that MS Visual SourceSafe has higher

different target groups of Monotone and Git, which might have caused
that the communities have almost no overlap; people choose either Git
or Monotone, one or the other. BitKeeper has also a very low number
of active users among Git users... but that is not that strange,
considering history.
I think you are making the wrong assumption here.
someone may use CVS becouse they contribute to a project that is only
availabe via CVS
someone may use Perforce becouse that is the VCS that their company uses
if you do commercial development with windows you are almsot going to be
required to use MS VSS.
you are looking at it from the point of view of 'which VCS would you
select for a new project', but that would be a very different question.
I find it interesting that the number of people who use git and the other
DVCS systems in so small. Is this becouse the 'market share' of those
other systems is small? or becouse people who learn git aren't willing to
put up with other systems (or vice-versa)? or is there some other trend
or tendancy that makes people who select one DVCS more likely to work on
similar projects, so people interested in those types of projects will
generally just see a single DVCS system
