Since 2019 Final is as-good-as-out (Preview has been out for a while), I'd suggest adding it to the list:

- MSVC: <=2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, >=2019, none

Perhaps add an item related to moving to newer C++ standards, something like

"- More rapid dropping of older compilers/C++ standards in favour of more slick Eigen codebase & newer C++ features support"

(This is really too things - the first one being of particular interest to Eigen developers/contributors. As Michael mentioned in the other thread, it might induce more contributions if the code base got rid of old cruft).

Thank you for the initiative. Following the previous discussion, I would suggest something like that:

C++ version
- today: 03, 11, 14, 17
- likely in 2021: 03, 11, 14, 17, 20

Compiler
- MSVC: <=2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, >=2017, none
- GCC: <=4.8,4.9,5,6,7,>=8, none
- clang: <=4, 5, 6, >=7, none
- ICC: <=16, 17, 18, >=19, none
- XCode: <=8, 9, >=10, none
- others: text-field

What would you like the most:
- More frequent releases
- More & faster bug fixes
- Speed improvements
- More features, name one: text-field

Arch (check boxes): x86-64, ARM, CUDA, HIP, SYCL, MIPS, Altivec, VSX, ZVector

Hello together,

as discussed in another mail thread, this mail thread tries to gather questions that are suitable for a little survey among Eigen users and developers to find out how and with which tools Eigen is currently used and how and with which tools Eigen will be used in the future.

I think focussing on simple checkbox questions or questions that can be answered in one or two sentences is a good idea.

Cheers,
David
