Langdon points out to me that Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ is one of the most popular text editors for developers: https://stackoverflow.com/insights/survey/2017/#technology-most-popular-deve...
It's completely open-source, but Windows-only (written specifically to the Windows API rather than an abstraction toolkit). I think an article about how to easily and transparently run it under Wine might be popular.
(We might also have articles for Visual Studio Code and Atom, which are open source but based around Electron, which isn't in Fedora.)
Note: I'm not really qualified to write this article. Just suggesting it. :)
There is one about atom: https://fedoramagazine.org/install-atom-fedora/
And, I'm not sure, there are a lot of editors and IDEs, why to focus on one specifically designed for windows(Even when is open source)?
That's my 2 cents

Awesome, thanks -- I forgot about that.

Because it's very popular — yet in the same survey, we also see that Linux Desktop is _also_ very popular. http://stackoverflow.com/insights/survey/2017#technology-most-loved-dreaded-... It stands to reason that there might be people who want both, and if we can provide easy instructions for doing on Fedora, they might become Fedora users.

I think this is a good justification for similar articles. However, we're talking about something that runs under Wine. I don't think selling that to end users looking for stability/resilience is a good strategy.
