Whether it was used by developers or not, didn't have any bearing on the question/data. I don't know whether I would draw the conclusion they primarily use it for coding or "other tasks" from the graph; for example a developer using Emacs for `org-mode` only with the occasional git usage would check both boxes. Just as you've reached the conclusion that 90% means all of them use it primarily for coding, an equally valid conclusion is that 50% use it primarily for /not/ coding. I don't make that leap - but it seems strange to discount one possibility heavily it favour of another; could you elaborate why?
