With N=69 across all scientific disciplines, this isn't really a helpful survey. But it is an interesting list of questions. It brings up one of my pet peeves.

With N=69 across all scientific disciplines, this isn't really a helpful survey. But it is an interesting list of questions. It brings up one of my pet peeves. There's no good site for asking for what (usually enterprise) software I should look at. Whenever I ask on stackoverflow they yell at me :) What I want is legitimate, in depth review of enterprise software and a good forum to ask about how customers use it. With the explosion of SaaS services, what I want is to be able to go somewhere and have this conversation: me: "what's a good software for organizing 400+ software products my company sells?" reply: do you mean a Product Information Management database? me: "yea, (who knew, there's a technical name for that niche). Any good ones?" reply: do you need an online catalog, or are you using it just internally? me: "just internally" reply: try _____ if you need ____, or ___ if you need ___.
