There seems to be some unnecessary overlap among questions 11, 16/17 and 18. Examples: I found myself ticking off equivalent options like: - 11/gitk, 17/gitk and 18/"gitk or other history viewer" - 17/"git gui" and 18/"git-gui or other commit tool" - 14/"via git-bundle", 15/"git bundle", 16/"git bundle" and 18/"git bundle" - 11/StGIT/Guilt/TopGit and 18/"path management interface" - 17/"git reflog" and 18/reflog - 17/"git stash" and 18/stash - 16/"git difftool" and 18/"mergetool and/or difftool" - 16/"git mergetool" and 18/"mergetool and/or difftool" - 17/"git rebase -i" and 18/"interactive rebase" - 16/"git add -i" and 18/"interactive commit/..." - 16/"git filter-branch", 18/"git-filter-branch or cg-admin-rewritehist" and 18/"git-filter-branch or equivalent" - 11/"editor/IDE VC integration" and 18/"integration with IDE/editor" Some of this overlap is probably unavoidable, but I think some of it (especially between 16/17 and 18) can be eliminated without compromising the survey. Maybe we can integrate the non-overlapping parts of 18 into the other questions, thereby further decreasing the number of questions? BTW, 17 is just a continuation of 16, AFAICS. Is it possible to just repeat the column headers (to break up the table length) and still keep it as one question? Otherwise, I like the survey very much. > How long does it take to fill survey? ~ 5-7 minutes Thanks for the hard work you put into this. It is appreciated.
