New proposed Strategy Document - Text Editor discussion

[Richard Elkins]

I think that the discussion got off track.  A good engineer's editor probably supports any language - it does for me.  

The choice of default text editor should be based on the target audience for the release which has evolved since the first 'buntu, quite
a bit.  Who is the target audience nowadays?  Or, should we default in one for simple note-padding and one with a lot of engineering capabilities?

Keep in mind that they are both low on dependencies, relative to other packages.
