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.
