The survey seems to mostly be a tribute to Joomla marketing and Wordpress ubiquity, but they do note Drupal's numerous awards and the relatively large number of Drupal books, as well as the gap between the top three FOSS CMS platforms and the rest. What they didn't seem to grasp were the reasons behind those phenomena, specifically Drupal's appeal to and support of developers.
On one hand this is testimony to the promotional efforts of you, the community and Acquia. Interestingly and encouragingly, there was an Acquia ad right in the middle of the Hiveminds page where I found this report.
