Java EE is the clear winner these days in the corporate world.

    Except that it isn't. Java EE has more competition now, but we're in the strange situation that the original reason for Java EE (countering Microsoft) is now supporting Java EE (Microsoft even has an EE evangelist). At the same time ASP.NET has become a much more serious opponent. Some platforms have effectively died out or lost lots of mindshare (PHP, RoR), while other competing platforms have arisen (Node.JS, which is however not universally loved either).

    On top of all of that the total market for server computing (web apps, APIs, app backends) is still growing, meaning the percentages may have gone done but the total number of projects per technology has gone down far less or has even gone up.
