I think 5, 6 and 8 should have one more option - "I don't know" (and
most questions should get some comment box).

14. Most people won't know what HTML5 is, it's better to add some
explanation, or skip this altogether. HTML 5 availability is based on
minimum supported browser versions, users won't care. Software should
work :)

15. Add "never used any"

Otherwise looks ok. After completing questions I think we should give
this survey to some phpMyAdmin beginner and ask for comments to find
potentially difficult questions (ones that result in user quitting the
survey). Also, I don't think we should go over 20 questions. If we
have more, we should decide which ones to use in the actual survey.
