Could we agree that : 1/ a coder is a coder, no matter his color, his sexual orientation, his whatever 2/ the notion of "race" is problematic at best
And before I get down voted : who cares about a statistic about sexual orientation or ethnicity in a survey about IT ? I mean honestly.
With all the talk of Vim vs. Emacs, it surprises me that Emacs is in the low single digits, while Vim is 25% of all respondents. It does not surprise me that it is 40% (and #1) amongst sysadmin/devops practitioners.
Emacs I gave a try for a month, and I still felt like a beginner. There isn't a single core idea that you can master; it feels like it's a never ending series of chords that you have to remember for every plugin and lisp code that you have to write to configure and personalize everything for yourself. And pre-configured distributions like Spacemacs feel even more complex. Evil mode behaves like vim 95% of the time, but 5% leaves you buffled and completely, utterly lost.
Sometime in the future, when I have enough time on my hands, I will build myself an emacs build from scratch, learning every plugin as I go along. Right after I build my own linux distribution from scratch - oh wait, I already did that, and it took less time and mental space than Emacs.

People trying to make the IT industry accessible to all regardless of sexual orientation or ethnicity, who want to check in on how we're doing at that?

Day to day coding ... VS Code. Used to be Emacs, but I switched.
Oh and Vim is still the only editor I dare use to open a 1GB CSV file with.
Just out of curiosity, why do so many people want to learn Go despite it not being used that much, 7.1% from the survey?
