That sounds about right. You don't pick up vim for a shopping list. You pick it up because you're a programmer.

- johannes1234321 7y agoWhich doesn't mean you can't keep your shopping list in it. Or be using it to build a shopping list tool - including test data.
- anoncake 7y agoSome people use Emacs just for Org. That's a lot closer to a shopping list than to programming. And programmers sometimes write text in natural language.
- munchbunny 7y agoI would guess that the parent comment's point is still true: Emacs (and Vim) are far more commonly used for programming and other work, probably ASCII heavy, than for natural language text editing. I'd be willing to bet that for both Emacs and Vim, 90%+ characters by volume are ASCII. I wouldn't make a similar bet for Microsoft Word.
