About this template
Feature requests arrive loudest from whoever asks first, which is not evidence of demand. This survey lists the jobs people are trying to do, asks how often each one gets stuck, how they solve it today, and how much a fix would matter - then ranks them. It separates the frequent-and-painful from the merely-loud, so an education product team can ship the two problems with the widest cost in time saved, and re-run after release to see if the pain actually moved.
