Emacs user myself, I'm not really surprised. While Emacs might work inside terminal, I think the default is to run is as a separate application. It's also not quite fast to start and more suitable for opening a project in it and working in it for a long time. This "Vim vs Nano" articles seem to be rather aimed at use case of quickly updating a config file over SSH, more than making it a daily main editor.
And the fact that Vi/Vim and nano are installed by default on most distributions while Emacs is not also probably has something to do with it.
I was working with MX Linux re their Alpha for pi. I said, hey... where's Midnight Commander. The response was... well users can just install it... I'm like... this is small board and I really would like to request mc. Nope. The people who create the distros select packages... and I have met some interesting OS "devs". I'm the lead dev for respin, a distro customization tool. I'm waiting for someone respin to something better... still waiting. Why no emacs. Give options!!!!!
