I understand that we can't have dozens of options for every poll, but please give us some more choice. I'm going to vote "I love it and can hardly wait", but it's far from my point of view. I'd have answered "it's a reasonable choice", but it won't change my way of working; still I can't vote "handy but insignificant" since it sounds pretty negative (while my feedback is positive).

"other" was added). Providing options with a sufficiently wide span is hard, the intent of "handy but insignificant" was to provide a neutral category as "handy" is positive and "insignificant" is negative. I fear no amount of options could satisfy everybody, sorry your option was not met. Login or register to post comments
