Interesting results, I'm glad you did this Alexander. It's very interesting to see how what everyone thinks is important balanced against one another.

I find this strange and cannot explain. Scripting is pretty useful even if you only plan to build once. I personally rebuild as little as possible, being only when something breaks. But being able to fall back on your exact options (through the book or through a customized script) months later is borderline essential for myself. My brains don't like it when I try to remember things like precise build instructions for some obscure package. Scripting can be useful with or without the 'often'. But sometimes a rebuild might be something that you whip up out of the blue. In my opinion the independence of these two variables makes sense. Having scripting for frequent rebuilds seems like a bonus. > 0.53: "I use PM to revert mistakes"/"I won't use PM that clobbers config > files" I think I feel the strongest towards this statistic. It's at these times that I either loved or hated package management in the past.
