I, as survey administrator, can export survey data to CSV or Excel formats, but currently I cannot export URL to such data. So you can either ask me to send you such data[*1*] (CSV for around 700 individual responses weights 1.7MB, and 272KB after gzipping), or sign in to Survs.com (which might, or might not, require invite) and ask me to add to "git" role/account/group.

On the other hand you can use different filters (again, I think only survey administrator can do this, or whatever role is it) to limit summarized replies, for example show summary only for users which use Git on MS Windows (answered "What operating system..." question, and the answer was "MS Windows (Cygwin)" or "MS Windows (msysGit)".

I can also enable individual responses in shared view (above link), so you can see reply by reply; but I don't think this is particularly useful, especially with 1000+ responses (21 in 'testing' channel).

[*1*] I will not send this to git mailing list...
