      So kind of off topic. Like 15 years ago emacs vs vim split in engineering was like 50-50. Now I see more like like 90-10 work com winning. What happened? I always assumed they are equivalent more or less.

        There’s been a lot more evangelism about emacs lately.

        Also the fact emacs has doom and spacemacs to ease new users in while vim drops you into : and tells you to swim means that it’s easier for emacs to get new users.
