Yep. Very un-techie which I found a bit unexpected, given it's in DJJ :-)

What I was disappointed in (as usual :-) was the scoring system. Very
meaningless having a forced 123, as 1 point will separate two distros whether
they are all but identical or miles apart in any category.

Given all those who undertake & publish surveys these days, it intrigues me how
ignorant & incompetent many of them are regarding survey design & analysis.

Ignoring the scores & looking at the comments, any of the three is a viable
choice, the differences are as much a matter of taste as they are about
functionality/capability/useability.

Cheers....
