Hi Michael,
Thank you for that. We will address this in future editions of the survey.
In the interest of not making the survey data inconsistent, I'm going to
recommend just giving a neutral (3) response to ones that you aren't as
familiar with. Given the number of responses we already have, I think this
makes more sense than adding a "N/A" option or making the questions
optional.
Thank you,
Greg

Hi,
tl;dr: It's time for the annual Developer
Satisfaction Survey! *This
survey is for everyone who uses any of the tools
or services mentioned
below*, whether you would call yourself a "developer" or not. *Closing
date is March 24th.*
As a feedback to the survey:
The survey contains *mandatory* questions to rate one's satisfaction with
each of these services. How should one rate the satisfaction with a service
that one does not use at all? At least for my perception this is not
possible and therefore the survey is only suitable for everyone who uses
*all* listed services at least to some point.
I wonder what is the motivation for making these questions mandatory? As a
user I am often frustrated by those, because I have the choice to
either cancel filling out the form, or risk to dilute the results.
Cheers,
M
