These are interesting charts (might need a logged in kvr account):

All the DAWs I use (Bitwig, Renoise, S1) are not even listed in the main charts 
Makes me question my decisions. Ableton still #1. Yeah, it’s a good DAW.
Such charts are senseless.
agreed. music isn’t made with charts like these
imagine if burial read a chart like this and went “oh, well, i’ll delete soundforge then, shall i”
questioning your decisions based on group polls and consensus … maybe instead question your “remove AudioUnits from Renoise” ideas 
Well, I never managed to deep dive into Ableton, for example, not sure what it is, but most certainly brain lazyness. It is a very powerful daw, also with a lot features for “composers” and creativity starting with v12. If it is used by so many people, it at least motivates me to try it once again. So many users can’t be wrong, they must have done something the right way.
