One other factor may be of interest in thinking about these ratings:
the importance of libraries for current ways people build software.
The tendency appears to be to select standard libraries and hope they
remain stable enough to serve over a reasonable length of time. Once
people get used to using this approach, they don't write as much code
themselves - they just figure out how to hook in a library to do the
work. I suppose you could call it the "cut and paste" approach to
developing software.
