+# On the design of text editors
+Nicolas P. Rougier
+
+Text editors are written by and for developers. They  come
+with a large set of default and implicit choices in terms of layout,
+typography, colorization and interaction that hardly change from one
+editor to the other. It is not clear if these implicit choices derive
+from the ignorance of alternatives or if they derive from developers'
+habits, reproducing what they are used to. Durint this talk, I will
+characterize these implicit choices and illustrate what are some
+alternatives using GNU Emacs.
