I feel sometimes I'm an exception on Usenet, being under 70 years old. So I'd assume people are dying off or leaving Usenet behind. There are things like Reddit and Stack Overflow now that are popular and where Emacs is actually a topic. I almost say discussed but those platforms don't have much of it, being more Q&A type of things. Also, newsgroups have generally become small. I don't think there are newcomers other than the quintessential Google Groups users who mostly make their precense known by responding to historical posts from decades past. > Or maybe MS (or is it still M$?) convinced everyone to use them?) > What other editor even competes with emacs? ex/vi/vim I suppose; > anything else? Vim certainly but since you mentioned Microsoft, I understand their free Visual Studio Code is a hugely popular editor.
