I thought this too when I read the article. Then it occurred to me that I don't have any idea how many developers work on plugins for either. Looking naively at github files by type is unreliable, since so many people do things like keep their .vimrc and .vim files on github which artificially inflates the number of .vimL repositories. What I do know is that if there's something I want done, I suspect there is a plugin that does it. So at least morally, there are sufficiently developers for both emacs and vim (in my experience). |

Maybe it's just my anecdotal evidence, but I've looked for alternatives to certain emacs plugins used by my co-workers (such as org-mode and ensime) and couldn't find a suitable replacement (I know there are some alternatives for vim, but they pale in comparison to their emacs counterparts).
