It is possible that "Stack Overflow surveys" select for programmers who tend not to use Emacs. For example, I use Emacs regularly and know what Stack Overflow is, but have never taken one of these surveys.
I'm not even sure how they survey developers. Ask on some crufty mailing list and you probably will get a completely different distribution from the one they showed.
