I did not mean to criticise you. I think you are doing the best you can,
and it is valuable.

My point is: many professional developers use Git not necessarily because
they want to, but because their day job requires them to do so.

I *highly* doubt that we reach a notable fraction of those developers,
even if they are arguably power users of any development tool, including
Git.

The question is not so much how to advertise the survey. I skip almost all
surveys I am asked to participate in, because I am just a little bit busy
all the time. I feel that my colleagues do the same. Unless forced to take
a survey, they skip it.

Ciao,
