Not necessarily niche, but less common. Take a look at the JetBrains developer survey if you want some numbers: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2024/


I have a much more close relation with other niches than with web programming, even if web programming is part of my core skill set. I mostly interact with a few sites daily, even though I spend some time there. But I spend a lot of time with software like xterm, emacs, calibre, cmus,... and more with tooling like make, bash. While I'm not working on those, I had to become quite familiar with their working to troubleshoot some bug. Emacs is more important to me than AWS and GitHub.
