Why on earth would I care if my tools are winning today's popularity contest? Tomorrow there will be a new contest, and the day after, and so on.

The computing world is big enough that someone that cut their teeth on Visual Studio can still be happily using it in 2022, a quarter century after its original launch. And will likely be able to use it in 2057, half a century after its original launch. With more or less the same keybindings and core workflow it had back in 1997.
