It's unfortunate that, to me, the title implies there's something wrong with a person who still uses vim and nothing could be further from the truth.

Oh c'mon. Us vim users are seen as "those crazy people" by the majority of other programmers, and they have at least some point :)

I am the only person in my office that uses Emacs. Everyone knows vim. Everyone loves vim. You think you're the crazy one?

Jokes aside, outside of certain areas which are fairly unusual, most programmers have never used vim OR emacs and I would guess that most don't even really know about them. It can be hard to imagine in the echo-chamber that is the online tech scene, but really most developers just use IDE's and get on with life.

What I’ve noticed in the Boston/Cambridge area is a resurgence of interest in Vim. I’ve been to companies where they are intentionally using Vim and not an IDE, even though they could. They have repos on GitHub (like https://github.com/thoughtbot/dotfiles) where everyone pulls down the standard Vim and other dotfiles and goes from there.

That's interesting. We all have our own circles we run in but every programmer I know uses vim or emacs except Windows users but, well, you know.
