I'm not sure how you'd know that; since vim, emacs, and other more traditional options don't include telemetry we don't know how many people use what editors. In any event, Windows remains the most-used (desktop) OS, so I've long since acclimated to people living with the suckage.

There's some data here that can help give a clue: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-popular-technolog.... It does look like vscode is the most used by a very large margin.

Scrolling up, the same sample put NPM use at 65.17%, so I feel pretty comfortable calling it sample bias.

The data is no doubt biased, but given just how far ahead vscode is, it would need to be a very heavy bias to see vim/nvim come out ahead among all developers (however we define that). It gives us some information, but I agree doesn't tell us what the proportion is among all developers.
