  I'm not sure how relevant search traffic is for usage of an editor, since most people won't be googling most of those (unless it's "gvim installer", etc.) as most are mostly handled through package managers. Maybe in the best case for the search results argument, they google a wiki/blogs/etc a few times (to initially find, or if they are on an unfamiliar computer and have forgotten the URL), plus searches for an installer package where necessary, and the odd search for how to do an obscure or tricky operation, which still implies long periods of 'silent' use between.
