We just released iSalient version 2.30.2.  This update removes the confusing drop-down based question type chooser and replaces it with a graphic based / friendly new question type picker.

The export page (from the Surveys > Manage page) has also been updated to allow you to either export the survey responses (to a .csv) or the survey structure (to a .xml)

As always - let us know if you have any suggestions or questions!
