      I took the survey… but I’m wondering about some questions regarding specific ESRI products.

      If it’s a survey about GIS skills, it’s quite strange asking if you are skilled or not about ArcMap or ArcCatalog, isn’t it?

      Perhaps someone could say: “well, ESRI products are the most used around the world, so the survey consider them”.

      Ok, but on the other hand the survey could ask some questions about users skills on open source GIS… isn’t it?

      In the end, I consider this survey not so equilibrated and, moreover, I could hypothesize a “subliminal” advertising for ESRI.
