> I was a bit irritated that “vim” and “Atom” were on the multiple choice for IDEs while things like “Emacs” and “TextMate” (and as hippo mentioned, “Padre”) were not.

Already the order of choices can mess up a result, notwithstanding the absence.

There is this famous example of the US Census question for ancestry, where the numbers jump considerably depending on order.

I remember reading (hopefully correctly) that the number of "Croatian Americans" once doubled when it was the first choice.

Now guess the number of emacs users if it wasn't just a text to fill in for other choices.

Consequently the monastery should start serious polls in the voting booth with nice pie charts? :)
