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
