TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Yes, I agree, polls are fun and I almost always want to be among the
counted. :-)
I answered this poll, and was a little surprised. From what I have read,
Microsoft Word is the predominate authoring tool with something like a 95%
usage among technical writers - not because the technical writer choose
Word, but because of a corporate decision.
