> While Emacs certainly still has a following, some people think that the Editor Wars are over and that Vim won.16 The 2018 Stack Overflow Developer Survey suggests that this is true; only 4.1% of respondents used Emacs.
I'm an Emacs user for years now and love the editor. But I'm curious about this claim of its poor popularity. The article refers to a piece from
http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruc... which bases its arguments on two surveys from 2013 and 2014.
Does anyone know of a credible way to measure the popularity of Emacs and what the usage trends are in 2018 other than SO?
