Notice that unlike the "use vim as a bad frontend for other programs you need to install that aren't vim", this is true "use X to do stuff". This isn't to say Emacs is better than Vim, just that Vim isn't a fully-blown programming environment.
It's like a running joke. Every year, the poll is throwing in those things. This year you finally dropped the "desktop" moniker, so I thought at least we won't have to point out that CentOS is not a desktop oriented distro, but you kept FreeBSD.
Does anyone in your site knows what is the difference between Linux and BSD? Does anyone care? Do you people even aware what is the impression these polls leave? Why is this being done year after year? Is it really that hard reading through the options before hitting post? Why are you doing this? I would really like to get an answer.
