Hi!
Since William's statement, that Sage failed as a real alternative to the
4 MMs there are currently some threads
with thoughts on improving Sage.
But till now I see only discussions among the devlopers. But I think we
should also ask the users.
The most of us here are scientists. But to make Sage successful we have
to be more considerate
about a big block of non mathematicians and beginners, which are a big
portion of potential users.
I don't think that the functionality of Sage is the big problem, in fact
Sage has a great features for zero cost.
A bigger problem is that Sage is lacking good 'user experience'. This
starts already with installation.
We still don't have a good Windows version, and you can't install Sage
from the standard repos of your favorite distribution.
SageMathCloud overcomes some of these problems by providing
an out of the box we interface, but there are still people who want
something to install on their hard drive.
Especially If they don't want to go online for security reasons, or want
to use their own hardware.
Additionally it often appears to me that sage lacks of clean design.
It seems that all these issues are known, so why do we need a user
survey then?
