Quantified?? No idea
A hunchy feeling?  The only things I see used (in the physical world, leaving 
aside net forums like this one) are
- vi
- sublime text
- eclipse

roughly in that order.

I know enough (about) statistics to know that converting my hunch into a hard 
statement would require considerably more data than I can muster.
I know enough good business folk to also know that sharp guys use a right combo 
of hunches and numbers.
