 # Installing IDEs
-## Installing Eclipse
-
-We will use Eclipse as one of our prefered IDE (we're lucky there are many free good IDEs for java :), I chose Eclipse more or less arbitrarily :)
-
-You want some version of the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers; unless your machine is really old, chances are you're running a 64 bit version :). As of Jan 9, you can find the [latest version here](http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/mars/1/eclipse-java-mars-1-win32-x86_64.zip). You can go to [their page](http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/mars1) for more info.
-
-Eclipse doesn't really come with an installer; just open the zip file (double-click on it on File explorer; works on Windows, Linux and Mac), and copy to the folder of your choice.

 ## Installing IntelliJ/IDEA
 
 Go to [IntelliJ's site](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/), download the appropriate version for your computer (we only need the Community Edition, which is free), and follow their instructions.
 
+## Other IDEs
+We are lucky there are many free IDEs available for java; Although I will only support IntelliJ, feel free to try and use any of the other ones, like:
++ Eclipse
++ Netbeans
+
+Also, Java files are plain text files, so you can use a regular text editor to edit them. My favorite simple editor right now is [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/), available for Windows, Linux and Mac. On Windows, many people like Notepad++. Do NOT use a word processor (like MS-Word) to edit your code, as it will often introduce weird characters.

 # Installing a git client
 
 We will use GitLab as our code repository, but you still need a git client. The command line client is available at [www.git-scm.com](http://www.git-scm.com/downloads). I assume you have a command line client, like git-bash.
