For a proof, let's see what Google has to say about this:
"Windows text editor". Vim is on page 3, near the turning
point where nobody is talking about text-editor anymore and
more about text-editor reviews. Even worse is Emacs, on page
6, after many other popular text-editors have been mentioned
several times.
That's a pretty malformed "proof":
http://www.google.com/search?q=people%20you%20should%20listen%20to%20regarding%20choice%20of%20text-editor
You don't appear anywhere in the top *10* pages...QED ;-)
However, if you want to play that game, vim.org appears on page #1 of
http://www.google.com/search?q=best+text+editor
Use what editor works for you -- but if evolution in the
language's features makes difficulties for you but not for users
of other editors, it's your editor that's the problem, not the
language.
