Please help us to know which GROMACS analysis tool has users and which tools has no-users.  
If you are users of one of the following tools, please fill the poll below.

_Poll ([view on site](https://gromacs.bioexcel.eu/t/poll-on-gromacs-tools-to-know-which-tool-has-zero-users/6878/1))_

It will be great if you could also provide a test case for the tool.

**Background:** For GROMACS developers it is very important to know if a tool has zero users or not, The tools take efforts during general refactoring. When they are unused and untested, they might end up broken for many releases causing a damage in the faith in the project.

If a tool has zero users, it will be deprecated in the following major release (e.i. 2024) and remove in the following one (e.i. 2025)
