I was looking for some tips on Vim the editor. and it was coincidence to pass on vim.org to find this :

The Linux Journal magazine does a Readers' Choice Award every year. For the fourth time in a row Vim was selected the favorite text editor! Vi and clones came second, GNU Emacs third. You can read this and the results in other categories in the press release. (Bram Moolenaar)

but i think people should not look to emacs as only text editor.
