Anyone who makes hiring decisions predicated mostly on which editors the person uses is going to get what they deserve.
Just like in web development, do feature detection, don't sniff for things which might loosely correlate with what you actually care about.
- buxtehude 9y agosurprised you are being downvoted - i totally agree with you - this data should be taken with a huge grain of salt and imo should be ignored for deciding on interview candidates and certainly ignored for hiring decisions. While this data is fascinating, it does lead me to consider what other unknown factors are at play here influencing these results.

Loose correlations between passing arbitrary tests and the commands you type to edit text are interesting at best and even then as an exercise in what not to do.
