Hi volks,
Where else should I go if not here? To find out about the professionalism of Inkscape and Gimp I have started a research project called "OpenSource graphics software in the creative media sector". It would make me happy if you spend a few moments to fill in the questionnaire. You find all you need to know at:
On your webpage you state the purpose of this survey is to prove: "I claim that the application in a professional workflow isn't mature compared to proprietary software used in the CMS. The effort for maintaining OSGS exceeds the costs & benefits you could save when using free software."
Since your purpose is anti-Open Source, there seems little reason to help you.
Hmmm... if his perspective really is anti-oss, well it sucks for him that I didn't read that paragraph. I could care less when it comes to anonymous surveys and what they use them for... so I skipped all the "wordy" junk at the beginning and just filled it out truthfully.
Honestly, if he is anti-OSS, I find this to be a bizarre place to ask. It's almost like going to a church and asking people if they believe in God or not. They're probably there for a reason. :)

Consider that the surveys goal may be a weak attempt at some thing like we, at least in California, saw in the last election. Using fake surveys to promote a campaign view. Maybe Adobe or someone is trying to take this idea commercial. Just a thought.
