[ale] Survey -- preferred Text Editor

[JD]

* vi
* geany - if I remember when starting a long programming session or for visual
spell check
* Eclipse, but only when forced for Android Dev. My Core i5/i7 systems only have
8G of RAM, so it doesn't run well.

First command on any new system is *sudo apt-get purge nano*. The level of
hatred towards nano cannot be expressed.

Am reformed emacs user. After about 6 months, kept entering vi-mode to get work
done. ;) Plus we didn't have storage to install emacs on every system, so I was
forced to use vi on the workstation I sat behind. 100% true story. Learned both
at the same time - in the end, vi won for me.
