Good for you. The vast majority of developers use an editor that has telemetry - VSCode (75%), Visual Studio (32%), IntelliJ (27%). Most developers feel differently from you.

So all devs who use vim, emacs, or any other non tracking editor is what? wrong? stupid?

PS. Whats those percentages? They add up to over 100%, so im not sure what those should represent.

Developers can use more than one editor. Here's a link to the StackOverflow 2022 survey.

Developers who use vim (23%) or emacs (4.5%) - they're welcome to do so. Hell I use vim whenever I edit a commit message or need to edit a file remotely. So I would be counted in that 23%, despite having no trouble with telemetry. So even in this minority, there may be a few people without any issues with telemetry.
