That poll you reference indicates to me that the majority of people would like to have one option, so long as it’s their option. There are some that would like one option and they don’t care which, but they are not the majority.
What the numbers are telling me is that Fischer is emerging as a popular setting, but there is an understandably larger base of folks that still prefer byo-yomi.
This shows the number of games created on a given day using auto match, direct challenges, or open challenges. There’s obviously some significant bias based on default settings and whatnot. The biggest surprise to me in these numbers is how even the fischer/byoyomi split is for direct challenges, and how skewed they are for open challenges.
Anyways, all this to say I understand folks would love to have their favorite option as the only option, and I too would love to have just one option, but I think we need to let things simmer a bit more.
