I don't think that applies here. If you use bazaar for version control then everyone needs to use it to interact with your project. Same thing for git. If you use git then everyone needs to use git to interact with your project. Today git is very popular and so everyone is needing to use git to interact with many projects. You can't use bzr on a git project. But that doesn't apply to editors. If you post a C source project then we can all use different editors to interact with it. The choice of editors is something that only affects the person driving it privately. It doesn't matter to anyone else what editor you use. Bob
