I dislike you saying that all capitalism is democratic and all communism is not. I chose the cross between them, because I want democratic communism, not a Soviet style state capitalism but real communism.
The above points at why I voted 'other' (in the absence of an option for market anarchism). Even a 'real' communism would, I think, feel to me like living in a cage. No matter how gilded the cage is, it's still a cage. I flatly do not believe that even 'real' communism would be a good system to live under--if nothing else because systems are for computers. Freedom is for people. I have yet to have anyone show me how 'real' communism would increase my freedom...it sounds to me like a huge overdose of togetherness. A market-anarchist society leaves room for communist (and other) enclaves. The reverse does not, to my understanding, hold true.
