Seems like google does not want to display the absolute numbers:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/06/google-trends-with-numbers.html
It also looks like Emacs is loosing ground to vim:
http://www.google.com/trends?q=emacs,vim&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0
Adding "eclipse" to the search shows that Eclipse is going up and that
both vim and emacs are searched for much less ....
Though the sun seems to be included in the eclipse searches. ;-)
