How old are you? I'm 32. I suppose most of the youngest generation were exposed to some kind of graphical editor like Visual Studio or Eclipse and they find Emacs alien (those who don't understand...) after using the former. The older generations were more probable to be exposed to vim or emacs first and they "stuck" with it (know the advantages), not migrating to graphical editor land. That's only an assumption and I'd like to verify it. Would you please post your age if you're interested? The statistics could be interesting. :)
