No Emacs entry under editors, and no Clojure in the languages section? Somebody on the survey team had a bone to pick.

They're in the write-ins for their respective categories. Emacs with 0.1%. Clojure with an impressive 0%!
But they mention it! (:
"there are dozens of us! Dozens!"
I thought Emacs was an operating system :-)

No surprise seeing as they authored this: https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/11/09/modern-ide-vs-vim-emac...

Maybe they think the certain generation who uses Emacs has died off or something.

Last years results had Emacs at 4.2% https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology . I would expect it to be roughly the same. Emacs seems to hover around this usage percentage.
