A bit of a tangent, but I think it would be worth distinguishing between vim-as-the-text-editor and vim-as-the-keybindings. For me, the value of vim comes from how quickly I can manipulate text, not necessarily that I can use a text editor in the terminal.
For bigger projects, I mostly use VSCode (and used IntelliJ in the past) but with vim bindings turned on. Because of this, I feel it's a bit difficult to compare the popularity of something like VSCode and Vim.
