Polls aren't exactly a great indicator of the wants of users on a platform like this. People who don't care about chat won't be motivated to participate skewing the results to the impassioned minority like yourself who want the feature to remain.

Also no offense but if the removal of an easily replaceable feature like chat causes people to "go berserk" I would recommend them seeking professional mental help, that's not healthy.
