I'm an Emacs user but I'm really surprised at the number of (presumably, as HN skews young) younger people here using vi or derivatives. Most younger people I know use neither vi nor emacs, using Sublime Text or an IDE or something, but vi seems much more alien to the modern worldview than Emacs, as it a modal editor, which has died out in all but vi-clones these days.
- maxnoe 8y ago26yo astrophysicist / datascientist here. Using neovim since two years now and before vim for 3 years as main editor. I don't know anyone below 40 using emacs. (Neo)Vim using (lots of) plugins has a pretty solid user base around here. Most is Atom / VS Code / Jetbrains IDE but vim has a solid standing especially along the more enthusiast programmers.
