I know.

Point I am making is those using Visual Studio (before Visual Studio Code) would criticise me for using Emacs.. a text editor. They mocked me because "IDEs are better"
Roll on to more recent times.. many of said people are now using Visual Studio Code. The same people that told me "IDEs are better"
> It's now at version 4, still in development. But being a commercial app, which is also not that cheap, you will naturally see not too many people using it. But considering they are still developing it, they seem to still make money from it, so enough people are using it I guess.
I will admit I did not know there was a ST v4. I knew about version 3 (I will not get into that). I do not know anyone using it. Not suggesting noone is.. just my personal observation. I would not be surprised if many ST2 users moved to VSCode.
> That's a very strange observation. There are significant more (neo)vim-users than emacs-users around
I was talking about vi/vim.. not neovim.
I made my point with regards to VSCode and NeoVim. They are the current cool kids on the block. Not suggesting they wont be popular in 10 years time. They could be.. but large of their userbase could move onto another cool kid by then. Emacs, on the other hand (like vi/vim) will continue like they normally do.
