Re: Some more analysis of the 2020 Emacs User Survey

[Christopher Dimech <dimech@gmx.com>]

There is no point in doing pairwise comparisons because the result is always symmetric.
You are really complicating simple things.  I disagree that the survey was very successful.

Whatever analysis one does, respondents were heavily biased and the documentation is only
good enough to those who already are quite knowledgeable.
