+  \frametitle{Which Editor or IDE should I be using?}
+  \begin{hint}
+     You may use any \emph{any} editor of your liking. These slides introduce \texttt{gedit} as a common denominator.
+  \end{hint}
+  Rule of thumb:
+  \begin{itemize}[<+->]
+  	\item start simple, e.\,g. with \texttt{gedit} or \texttt{nano}
+  	\item go for an IDE, when the project requires it. Usually projects give recommendations or even requirements.
+  \end{itemize}

+  \frametitle{Starting \texttt{gedit}}
+  \begin{columns}[T]
+  	 \begin{column}{.5\textwidth}
+  	   \texttt{gedit} is a simple-to-use text editor, very suitable for beginners.\newline
+        Start \textit{gedit}:
+       \begin{lstlisting}[language=Bash, style=Shell]
+$ gedit @&@
+$ #or
+$ gedit <path to file> @&@
+      \end{lstlisting}
+      The \altverb{&} starts the process in the background, if you forgot it:
+      \begin{lstlisting}[language=Bash, style=Shell]
+$ [Ctrl+z]
+$ bg
+      \end{lstlisting}	
+    \end{column}
+    \begin{column}{.5\textwidth}
+      \includegraphics[height=3cm]{editors_and_IDEs/gedit.png}	\newline
+        If you want to turn on syntax highlighting for \altverb{Snakefile}s, you have to select \texttt{Python3} as the language. (We will do this, when we hit\altverb{Snakefile}s for the first time.)
+    \end{column} 
+  \end{columns}
+  \begin{hint}[Note]
+    We will exercise and show this, when we start coding!
