I think there’s probably a lot of selection bias in who filled out the survey.

At my workplace, emacs is the standard text editor and windows users use emacs over putty as we have a bunch of internal modes and tooling that only run on Linux. It’s a bit of a shame because terminal use means missing out on lots of features (e.g. decent mousing, less space for vertical dividers, menus, fonts, image display (this used to be important for the menus in M-x lunch but that doesn’t matter so much these days).
