Hi debian-user, Here is a summary of the mini-poll that I conducted recently on Debian-user:
Firefox/Iceweasel and GIMP reign supreme for the third year running but are now joined by aptitude, each having 21 votes. I was surprised by Quod Libet receiving one vote but more surprising was F-Spot which also got just one and Tomboy receiving only 2 votes. The most surprising category is "misc utilities" because none of the 2005 and 2006 winners, sudo and grep received enough votes (three) to appear here. Nobody but me mentioned Tracker, while Beagle also got just a single vote. There was no mention of Banshee and only two votes for Tomboy. The most favourite non-free piece remains Adobe Acrobat, and one wonders when Evince and other free equivalents will catch up. I only show results which received at least 3 votes: audio editor: * Audacity (11) -> 2005 and 2006 winner audio player: * Amarok (7) -> 2005 winner * XMMS (5) -> 2006 winner * Audacious (3) * VLC (3) cd-ripper: * Sound Juicer (4) -> 2005 winner * Grip (3) -> 2006 tie winner * cdparanoia (3) DBMS: * MySQL (8) -> 2005 and 2006 winner * PostgreSQL (3) desktop environment OR window manager: * KDE (8), GNOME (8) -> 2005 and 2006 winner * XFCE (7) * Fluxbox (5) development: * GCC (6) * Emacs (4) * Vim (3) * Bash (3) * Make (3) disc burner: * K3b (13) -> 2005 and 2006 winner * cdrecord (4) e-mail client: * Mutt (8) -> 2006 winner * Thunderbird (Icedove) (8) -> 2005 winner * Evolution (3) file manager: * Konqueror (8) * MC (7) -> 2005 and 2006 winner * Nautilus (5) * CLI (6) finance: * GnuCash (5) ftp client: * gFTP (8) -> 2005 and 2006 winner * ftp (4) * wget (3) * MC (3) image editor: * GIMP (21) -> 2005 and 2006 winner image viewer: * gThumb (6) --> 2005 winner * Kuickshow (4) * GQView (3) -> 2006 winner instant messenger: * Gaim/Pidgin (12) -> 2005 and 2006 winner mathematics: * Octave (4) -> 2005 and 2006 tie winner * bc (4) -> 2006 tie winner * dc (3) misc utilities: * screen (5) * ssh, svn (3) news: * Pan, Slrn (4) p2p: * Azerus (4) package manager: * aptitude (21) -> 2005 and 2006 winner * apt-get (9) pdf-reader: * Xpdf (9) -> 2006 winner * KPDF (6) * Evince (6) spreadsheet: * OOo Calc (12) -> 2006 winner * Gnumeric (6) tag editor: * Amarok (2) terminal emulator: * Konsole (6) * GNOME Terminal (5) -> 2005 and 2006 winner * xfce4-terminal (4) * xterm (3) * rxvt (3) text editor: * Vim (14) -> 2006 winner * Emacs (7) * nano (3) video player: * MPlayer (15) -> 2005 and 2006 winner * VLC (6) * gxine (5) * Kaffeine (3) web browser: * Firefox (Iceweasel) (21) -> 2005 and 2006 winner * Konqueror (5) * lynx (4) * links (3) * w3m (3) word-processor: * OOo Write (11) -> 2006 winner * AbiWord (4) * Emacs + Latex (3) * KWord (3) anything deserving great honours: * GCC (10) * Debian (4) * Linux (3) * Vim (3) * OpenSSH (3) non-free: * Acrobat Reader (9) -> 2006 winner * GMail (5) Thanks for participating... -- my place on the web: floss-and-misc.blogspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
