The recent Go developer survey had an interesting question wrt. Editors. Despite having a low usage rate, among all the options it ranked highest on "Heard but never tried it", with only 13% of the respondents never having hard of it.
One also notices that the ratio of "use it" to "used it in the past" for Emacs is the second worst, after Sublime. One could argue that this is not due to usability, but due to trends in Editor usage, but I don't know if I want to make that point.
It would be interesting to cross-reference this with developer experience and age/when they started to program. And of course how much of this is Go-specific bias, considering how aggressively they broke tooling a few years ago while switching to Gopls.
