In addition to improvements in the IDE experience, the number of users who are relying on a nightly compiler at least part of the time continues to drop - down to 28% compared with last year’s 30.5% with only 8.7% of respondents saying they use nightly exclusively. When asked why people are using nightly the largest reason was to use the Rocket web framework which has announced [it will work on the stable version of Rust in its next release][rocket-announcement]. The next largest reason for nightly was const generics, but with [a minimal version of const generics reaching stable][min-const-generics], we should see less of a reliance on nightly for this feature.
