I think it's highly industry and probably project dependent. If company policy is that "we use X", then probably you're not going to have many people stray from that. The bigger the organization, the more likely you are to have strict guidelines in place like that. I would guess people on Windows are also less likely to reach for Vim than any of the many other alternatives. If you're using Linux, you probably have a different view on the world to begin with, and are more likely to go with vim over whatever is the "new hot editor". I've heard Mac users like to reach for XCode, but I don't actually know many developers outside of work, and none of them use Macs, so I don't know.
