We managed to collect 64 votes, not as many as we would like, but it's not bad for a start and we are sure that next year, more people will be willing to share their data. The survey was completely anonymous, so everyone who filled out the questionnaire, don't worry, we weren't able to declassify you 🙂

So, we wish you a pleasant viewing and look forward to your comments.
