Some time back there was a script posted on this list which extracted this statistics from users .bash_history. Maybe reference it here?

The meanings of "unique" and "useful" are unrelated, maybe make this two separate questions?

"What, in your opinion important, Git feature it is not mentioned above?"

you can drop "most": if people think something should be improved, we (most) likely want to know about it :)

>   xx. What tools would you like to see Git support in?
"What tools (IDE, RAD, editors) would you like to support Git?"

What they (the problems, plural) were?
