[Chicago] Regarding Text Editors

Tue Nov 1 13:13:11 EDT 2016

Let's give everyone beer then talk about vim vs emacs vs X.  What could go

Seriously, it could be informative, especially for people who are only
beginning on a particular IDE.
I'm fascinated by how craftsmen use their tools, so such a meeting could be
very interesting.  Or erupt into a flame war.  Either way, Best Meeting
Ever!
