Reassure people they don't need a flashy computer and it works on all major platforms.

Suggest Raspberry Pi for people who don't have a computer and limited funds

Move editor suggestion from Sublime (commercial) to Atom (Free).

I like the changes! :+1:

I don't like the idea of recommending Atom purely because of the filesize. Sublime is also a lot zippier, and can run python scripts out of the box with 0 configuration required (ctl+B). In the most common setting, a Wifi-enabled workshop, asking everyone to hammer an 86mb download at the start of a workshop is 10x worse than a 7mb download. And there are a LOT of places that can't deal with that stress (including our own, in Melbourne...).

Good point.

Can you Cherry pick that change out or do I need to do it and submit the change again?

Ivoz commented 8 years ago

It'd be easiest if you could resubmit.

If you haven't done anything else, I'd say it's easiest to just edit the text and run git commit --amend and you'll change the existing commit. git push -f should then replace the commit in the PR.

FTR I like Atom too, but Sublime Text [imho] just wins on too many practical points at the moment that tips the scales.
