Sure, I'm not saying it doesn't power a lot of editors. But it doesn't even come close to powering the editors most people use daily, so your over-exaggeration just makes the praise feel less like adding value to conversation and like over-hyping something for no reason.
As some sort of reference, the most common (loved) editors are: neovim, vscode, rider, vim, emacs, intellij, ipython/jupyter, webstorm, pycharm, visual studio, rubymind, phpstorm, notepad++, xcode, sublime, android studio and so on.

Yes, CodeMirror is big and popular, and great overall. Again, I'm not saying otherwise. It's just hard to take comments seriously when they are obviously not factual, and it detracts from the message you want to convey.
Edit: To be a bit more constructive: Instead of saying "CodeMirror is what everyone uses!" or "This font is the best font for programming!", try to write out the reasons of why you think like that instead, and let people arrive to their own conclusions. Describe the cases you've seen where CodeMirror shines, or write why and in what cases the font truly stands out to you. And maybe then you'll get a warmer reception in your replies.
Yep, at the end of the day it's just text editor. I hope UX people with coding skills would re-visiting Paredit and make it mainstream. Designing keystroke for the mass is hard, especially for text heavy (e.g. docs) content.

Neither of those use CodeMirror.
