Looking at that list it skews old and a few obviously missing major-ish modern ones:

Fate. (No, Fudge isn't Fate. Fate just uses an engine borrowed from Fudge).
Cortex Plus (Smallville, Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, Leverage, the forthcoming Firefly RPG). Possibly merged with Cortex (Serenity RPG, Supernatural, Cortex itself) although the two have very different approaches.
Fiasco
Apocalypse World and co (Dungeon World, Monsterhearts, Monster of the Week, Tremulus, many many homebrews)
Gumshoe (Trail of Cthulu, Ashen Stars, others).

Also do you have anything from the One Roll Engine on there?
 

One thing you have to remember is that each rpg in the list is another button someone has to click indicating their opinion of it. So in retrospect, I probably included too many RPGs, since most of the respondents don't know most of the games in the list! It's always possible to write in new or obscure favorites in the comments field.
