Portability, certainly. IDE integration is a bit out of scope, as it is not strictly about Git itself, but about Git "ecosystem". As I wrote in separate email, I am thinking about adding a new question: 21. In your opinion, what Git tools are needed, and which need improvements? > > == About this survey.

They are not git hosting sites ;-) Anyway, on Google+ there are 36 people who have me in their circles, I have 28 followers on Twitter. Identi.ca, Plurk, Facebook - here I don't have or almost don't have "friends"/"subscribers"/"fans". That's not much, so please: forward / share. > > I would like to have announcement of Git User's Survey 2010 at > > LWN.net, but this would need to be send at least two weeks in advance, > > if I remember correctly.
