The poll is devoid of any meaning. I'm not voting because it will
increase the purported validity of this "alledged" survey concocted by
Wilson Research Group.

These alledged "research" companies are in business to sell validity
to the proprietary model of software production. In general the free
software community has no money to pay for surveys, so "research"
companies have little incentive to acknowledge the community-based
peer-production model of software development.

This poll is part of the inefficient enterprise software industry
apparatus that we are undermining with dynamic languages and agile
development approaches. Leave the dinosaur to die in peace.
