I agree.

If we are thinking "code editors" and not "document editors", then
I would prefer "Development/Editors".

I know that people use vi for both sysadmin duties like quick editing,
and also for development code editing, so vi would be fuzzy.
Maybe "System/Text Tools" is better for that.
It seems strange to ask sysadmins to look in 'Development' to get
something they think of as a daily utility.

But xemacs for example, seems like it belongs in "Development/Editors".
(once such a category exists)

I realize that the categories have already been discussed a lot, but
I'm sure the tweaking will be an ongoing process.
