And for software, user satisfaction is certainly relevant. In particular, if a technical argument suggests a software should satisfy its users better, and users aren't satisfied, the argument seems poorly predictive. > And if we are to choose one medium I specifically mentioned haskell-cafe since it's a mailing list. Of course, if you really wanted to poll the community, a mailing list has no support for aggregation and won't scale. Cheers, -- Paolo G.
