Is that just a "gut feeling" or do you have anecdote/data to back
that up?
I don't have data, but at least anecdote to offer: as someone pretty
well immersed in GNU/Linux circles, I see semi-power users mostly
using Geany or (second) KEdit; non-power users even tend to use
LibreOffice (remember, on the Dark Side folks also insist on using
Word as a text editor, because a text is a text is a text [1], right?
Power users in GNU/Linux split (unevenly) between Vi(m) and Emacs.
Some sprinklings of nano who upgraded form the more advanced
group above.
My hunch (but remember: I've got anecdote, not data) is: A GNU/Linux
Emacs user is, in the overwhelming majority of the cases, perfectly
well-equipped to beat her Emacs config into whichever submission she
needs. Actually, she'll enjoy doing that.
Exceptions to the above (and IMHO /these/ would be the interesting
ones) might be "special" cases: those for whom Emacs solves a very
specific problem no other editor does well: think speech integration,
cross-language literate programming, humanities, things like that.
All of that my hunches, of course.
Cheers

/etc/passwd has been edited with Word: yes, I've had that!
