Just reviewing some of the categories and runners up;
Application & Data Tool of the Year
Javascript was pitted against frameworks made in Javascript? It was also judged against HTML5? Against Java? Against MSQL? All of these tools can (quite literally) be used in the same application, cleanly.
Advice for next time; If you're going to join the hordes of writers ranking technologies, research your categories better, and include some sort of metric that they are judged against, other than your own experience. Because some of these tools would be supremely useful over the winners, in the right environment.
