I'm wondering which age group most Emacs users fall into? 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. :)

For my part, I'm a few months shy of 30, been using emacs in some form
for ~8 years, but only in the last 6 months have I really gotten into
it.  I'm somewhat trying to become like this guy at MIT who, in a
discussion about operating systems, said "Linux is nice, but I prefer
emacs."
