The poll specifically asks "What version of Studio .. is most reliable?"  Reliability is important to me, so, yes, I think there is a point.  Even though I hate the sluggishness of AS6 and don't want to have to re-learn how to use my tool set, if it turns out to be way more reliable I will probably bite the bullet.

On the other hand, who is going to be able to vote on this poll?  Only people with enough experience with all of the candidates to have a valid opinion of their reliability.  That rules out everyone like me who is sticking with AS4.  I worry that people will vote against AS6 for reasons other than reliability, i.e. that it is barely usable.  So maybe in November when I get to see the results I won't believe them anyway, which means there may not be a point after all.
