I feel like I’ve noticed an increase in the popularity of emacs online in the last 10 years or so. Or perhaps just a waning of vim zealotry. I’m pretty sure I used to see quite vim-related posts on hn but I don’t really see them anymore, whereas I do see emacs/elisp related posts from time to time (with particularly strong mentions for org-mode or magit), and I don’t have much memory of them.
Perhaps vim is so widely used now that no one bothers to vote up articles about it. I find the shift particularly strange because it comes with a shift of the site away from lots of articles about languages like lisp for which emacs is basically the only sane choice of editor.
Perhaps the real reason is just that I’ve noticed emacs more because I’ve used it more.
