If you include full-blown IDEs in your definition of editor (which I think you should), Visual Studio was the most widely used editor among all the 19,772 people that responded to this question in the Stack Overflow Developer survey 2017.
Notepad++ was the second-most popular editor.
Sublime Text was the third-most popular editor.
Vim was the fourth-most popular editor.
Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, Atom, Eclipse, Android Studio, PHPStorm, Xcode, NetBeans and PyCharm followed.

The point still stands if you substitute "both" with "two". I admit that I assumed Emacs and Vim were higher in the "leaderboard" (and I'm not sure StackOverflow is the best place to sample developers) but the point stands regardless.
