There's a difference between complaining, and providing honest feedback. I 
don't think that you are complaining. 

Saying that the "single biggest request from users for AVR Studio 5 was that it 
be cross-platform" doesn't necessarily make it so. Yes, there's a lot of 
anecdotal evidence. But this is why a survey is absolutely necessary, to 
actually get the numbers to back up that statement.
