I've worked in California all my life and have worked in the following industries: medical devices, scientific devices, blockchain, and plasma physics research. I am the only person I've seen use emacs. Almost every developer I've worked with either used VS Code, Visual Studio, or uVision. Everyone else used Sublime Text, Eclipse or a JetBrains IDE.

I haven't even used emacs in years so I don't even know anyone that uses it; I stick almost exclusively to Vim (and for 8 months this was my only "IDE"), PyCharm, and WebStorm.

I mean, just go on YouTube and start clicking around in random presentations at programmer conferences.

Unless it’s an emacs related conference you will rarely see emacs being used as an editor. You will see a few VIM users sprinkled around. But if it’s a recent conference the vast majority are gonna be VSCode users.
