Your comments are live there as well. Just as you suggested, it is really interesting to download the raw data and draw your own conclusions. For example, if you look at all of the responses that indicate multiple language use, you'll just over half (50.6024% or 126/249 to be exact) are using multiple languages. I found this by binding all of the SV/Vera use together as 1 language, binding e/eRM together, and then adding up the columns to find rows that sum to more than 1. Again, while its not a scientific study, multiple language architecture is one of the technical advantages of the OVM. As you've said, the survey is of current usage and it does not provide information on technical value. JL does blog on that and so do we (OVM 2.0, register package, and numerous "team specman" posts are quite technical), so we certainly agree that users should look deep to make their own independent decisions. =Adam Sherer, Cadence Hi Harry,
