Maybe its an audience POV thing. Great feedback. I can make a clarifying change. I want to also note that after some additional review I have removed two questions for rating the importance of features. I think this will usefully shorten the survey, and my colleague who made the suggestion made a good case that rating those features would not be straightforward. More comments welcome; I plan to announce later today.
