This probably common, but there's also people like me, who stumble upon a problem like having to edit text files via ssh and end up falling in love with it. I came to vim that way some 15 years ago and to emacs (evil mode) two years ago. Both are simply awesome, powerful programs that are not hyped often, but by learning them you hopefully learn something to use for decades to come.

Same, I have never seen anyone else IRL using vi[m]. It mostly started for me due to my potato machine and I like to live in the terminal.

But I have not switched to emacs(evil mode ofc.) due to mostly philosophical differences and i completely just hate the defaults..
