Since your stats draw comparisons only among "members who bother to fill
out online profiles", one might be tempted to conclude that emacs users
are simply less likely to bother with online surveys.  This comes as no
surprise to the emacs bigots among us who didn't fill out a profile. :-)

Naturally, I won't bother drawing the inference that VIM users have too
much idle time on their hands--time spent filling out online profiles,
apparently. :-)  (Wait a minute: now what does that say about _me_, here
finding myself bothering to write this message?  Erm, nevermind.)
