What becomes a programmer most?
What do Richard Stallman, James Gosling, Charles Simonyi and Bill Joy have in common?
Famous hackers all, yes, but oddly, their initial fame came from text editors: (Teco) Emacs, (Unix) Emacs, Bravo and Vi, respectively.
Of course, Cap'n Crunch wrote EasyWriter, but he was famous for other things first.

Interesting Marc Andreessen worked on Epoch (Emacs for X, what a concept!) before Mosaic.
