I have split this list in two: other centralized VCS and other distributed VCS; both have "other" field.

I tried to include all important VCS. There is always problem with analyzing responses from "other" field...

As you can see this year survey is [almost] bereft of essay free-form questions. It is because of difficulties and time needed to analyze such responses. So I don't think such question will be included this year.

I think it is better discussion for git mailing list or something...
