emacs is 4% vs VSCode 73%, so it's not popular, though vim still is
- mmooss 2y agoThanks. In more detail: Visual Studio Code 73.6% Visual Studio 29.3% IntelliJ IDEA 26.8% Notepad++ 23.9% Vim 21.6% Android Studio 16.1% PyCharm 15.1% Jupyter Notebook/JupyterLab 12.8% Neovim 12.5% ... Emacs 4.2% ... Spacemacs 0.4% So Vim + Neovim = 34.1%, essentially second to Visual Studio, the overwhelming leader.
- imp0cat 2y agoI wonder why is Spacemacs listed as a separate entry?
- Dalewyn 2y agoI'm pleasantly surprised Notepad++ is so high up.
- viraptor 2y agoWhat this doesn't show is people using vscode/vs with neovim driver or vim key bindings. The vim "backend" percentage is going to be significant.
- The_Colonel 2y agoStackOverflow isn't representative. It was always skewed towards .NET world (and thus VS). I assume this is the case because the founders were prominent .NET personalities.
- fomine3 2y agoThere's no representative community though
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoThis feels like it's skewed by the question: "Which development environments did you use". I know that vim is an IDE, but I still think of it as a text editor. I would probably answer "Zed" to that question (not even on the list!) and "vim" to a "Which text editor" question, although I use a third, graphical editor (CotEditor) for a lot of stuff too. I never use a full-blown 'ide' like visual studio.
- dalai 2y agoI don't think you can add them, respondents could select multiple editors. I am guessing 34% is the upper limit if no Neovim users use Vim and vice versa, which is hard to believe.
- the__alchemist 2y agoYou could probably lump PyCharm and IntelliJ together; different language modes of effectively the same editor.
- bandrami 2y agoIsn't stackoverflow's most-accessed question to date "how do I exit vim?"
- eviks 2y agoMore like top-200+ by views, though even the wouldn’t contradict much else
