Great list! But I was perplexed by the text editors mentioned. Author claims to be looking at trend data, but seems to have a bias against Subljme Text editor. I don't know if there is some connection to Atom or VSCode, but it seems easily verifiable that Sublime and vim are vastly more popular than other editors mentioned, yet Sublime is inexplicably absent and vim is mentioned last and sort of offhand as more of just a tool you have to know for ssh sessions.

Sublime is absent because a lot of previous sublime users are now Atom users, and it is now the more popular editor by a large margin. Those comfortable with Sublime will find Atom very inviting.
Except when you need to open a file more than 100 lines, atom is nicer.
