This survey is a good idea, thanks for starting it.

I don't think configuration files are really relevant anymore, we should rather 
compare direct vs indirect manipulation of content. I mean for example moving 
an element by dragging it instead of adjusting its position using spinboxes. 
Not sure how to sum it in a short sentence though.

I would like to add two other ones:
* Support collaborative work (1 content, N users)
* Support multi-device workflow (1 content, N devices)

dot + facebook + twitter + identi.ca should provide a wide enough coverage I 
think. Maybe also post a link on forums and/or kde-{apps,look}.net?
