Text Editors in 2022: The Data

The category grew by 11% compared to 2021, moving from 18 launches to 20. Average interest score across all 2022 launches: 176. Average engagement ratio: 0.26.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Some of the best-loved tools in our index have modest interest scores but sky-high engagement ratios. That pattern means a smaller audience cared deeply. I'd take that over 5,000 interest and crickets in the discussion threads.

Over 30. AI, Developer Tools, Productivity, Marketing, SaaS, Design, and everything in between. Most products appear in 2-3 categories. Some show up in 5+.

Products are ranked within their launch year. A 2022 product competes against 2022 launches, not 2025 launches. Use the year navigation to compare how standards evolved.

More products means more competition for attention. The average drops as a category gets crowded, even if the best products keep scoring higher. That divergence is worth watching.

Use the year navigation at the top of each category page. The trends page for each category also shows top products by year in a single view.
