No need to guess, the SO survey is probably still representative of the state of development environments:
https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technology#1-dev-id-es
Note that respondents may use multiple tools, but around 76% answered VSCode, whereas 24% answered Vim.
So, I’d wager you’re indeed in a *nix bubble.
The SO survey was skewed to begin with, and by 2025 it covers a much reduced fraction of past users. See:

Not that your conclusion is necessarily wrong of course.
That is so different than I expected. Thank you for the link.
It's more indicative of the state of SO users.
Care to bet even those 24% vim devs code circles around the VSCode ones?
