http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=emacs editor,eclipse ide Since 2004 Eclipse (Emac's primary competiton for my use case) has lost some 71% of its "trendiness" according to Google. But Emacs has lost more, dropping from 25 to 4 (84% less). Does this Google Trends graph reflect reality?
This trend can be interpreted however you like. E.g.,People don't search for emacs because it already comes with Linux distros. One has to download Eclipse.
Installing emacs is trivial. Installing Eclipse on Windows requires googling for help.
emacs is easy to use and the docs are helpful. Eclipse users need more help.
And finally ... emacs users use bing. :-)
