@Mokubai Other companies could have run into the same problem and polled their users on what they use. It wouldn’t be universally-applicable data but might be representative.

As for the “acceptability” of browser usage or calendar usage questions, I never claimed they were “acceptable,” I claimed they are answerable and useful. Apparently adhering to SE sacred law is more important than answerability or usefulness.

Thank you. If transiency is a concern for SE question quality, then this gives me more insight into why my question might be considered “bad.” I still think the question would be useful for at least a few years. And answers can always be updated later, as can happen within any other topic, due to the mutating nature of the world.

In web development, it is very common to refer to statistics on the most commonly-used browsers. e.g. 50% of people use Internet Explorer, so it would be very useful to know that, so one could design websites to work in Internet Explorer. If questions seeking to obtain browser usage statistics are answerable and useful, why wouldn’t questions seeking to obtain calendar software usage statistics also be answerable and useful?
