Ah yes, a bit remiss of me not to state the format for my lablings:
Editor --- Year of initial release (Stackoverflow 2019 survey, editor
popularity)
Screenshot of editor with default theme (trying for current)

There are indeed many commonalities. However there are a few that Emacs
doesn't share --- namely: dark default, bluey tones, line numbers, and a
status bar that matches the background (in terms of background colour).
Hmm, and also iconography on the status bar.

For that I ran emacs -Q and took a screenshot.

No, as I took your question to be "what are other editors doing?".
Is this correct?

Indeed! I love how Emacs now serves me as a common interface to a
variety of tasks, but the most frequent of those is as a code editor,
and I imagine it's code editing that brings most people to Emacs.
The only equivalent application to Emacs is ... Emacs (AFAIK), which
isn't terribly helpful for comparing and contrasting visual styles :P
I hope that helps,
Timothy.
p.s. for another weighting, I could also ask some friends (Under-25,
non-Emacsers) to rank these sample screenshots by aesthetic appeal. Just
a thought.
