I know that FreeRIDE isn't new to this release, but in view of past 
comments on bandwidth, I've wondered why two editors (FreeRIDE and 
Scite) are included with the installer.

Really, I've wondered why even *one* editor is included with the 
installer.  In general, don't people tend to find an editor or IDE they 
like, and just use it, with updates and add-ins applied independent of 
any particular external software?

As a data-point on this, I don't install Scite, and I don't use 
FreeRIDE.  If there was an option to omit FreeRIDE during installation, 
I would leave that out, too.

(I don't mean this as a cold-hearted snub of FreeRIDE, I just happen to 
like gvim.  )

Just curious.


Thanks again for the release,

James
