Yes. People use Emacs. There is no one solution that fits all. You can
check this for yourself by reading the statistics from popcon[1] or by
% apt-cache search --names-only "^vim$" | grep -v "vim-" | popsort.py
1210 vim - Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
% apt-cache search --names-only "^emacs$" | popsort.py
3216 emacs - GNU Emacs editor (metapackage)
which shows that both editors are equally popular but vim a bit more
(rank of 1210 vs 3216).
Appendix:

[2] - popsort.py is a python script I wrote to get the popularity
rank. It can be downloaded from
https://gitlab.com/d3k2mk7/rutils/blob/master/bin/popsort.py .
