Great, thanks!
I voted based on the "survive" idea as in "if I were starting up a campaign tomorrow, what systems would immediately come to mind to use?" And for that there are three + D&D*. One of those systems is my own, so I didn't vote for that
while another (Legend in the Mist) is very new and likely doesn't qualify as a 'system' yet. Picked what's adjacent to it to get my 3 (including the D&D edition). * D&D for me has so many ingrained tropes and specificities that it is its own genre for me.
no 13th age?

I think I have the 1 lonely vote for the d6 system, but I had to support a game engine that’s given me so much fun from the 90s to today.
(My other 2 picks were Daggerheart and 4e, the latter of which I know also won’t win. Almost went for Shadowdark, but that probably won’t need help from me

Having never played it, I am never sure where to place it in the lineage. But added!

Voted for WoD since i love that system and it can do multiple genres and game types. D&D 5e cause i need one version of d&d. Third spot was one rules light game, and Mork Borg wasn't on the list.
Question: Why are 3.5 and 5 ed D&D separate? Personally, i think they are way more alike then different.

I have never played Mork Borg. I assumed it was an OSR game ala OSE. But added.
I think the existence of and ongoing popularity of Pathfinder 1E made it a reasonable thing to differentiate.

Thx for adding it. Mork Borg is OSR in the same way Knave, Shadowdark, Into the Odd are OSR.
Fair enoguh. Your poll. Personally, i find 5e just more streamlined and simplified 3e, specially if you count PF1 as part of 3.x line (which most people do). Looking at editions, 5e looks like natural evolution of 3.x. 3.5->5->5.5->4, from system design point at least.
