I think you can differ between the data entry platform and the
platform where you analyze the data.
You do have to train people using Emacs/Org-mode as well.
When I was a researcher, I used SurveyMonkey for my surveys. It's
open source and web-based. You get the data in CSV files AFAIR.
I also tested Google Drive (spreadsheet) forms which were very easy
to set up. However, the person filling out the survey needs a Google
Drive account. The results were exported in various formats AFAIR.
So, choosing a well known interface type (web-based forms) for
end-users and choosing a separate power-tool for analysis (R,
Org-mode, ...) is not a bad idea IMHO.
