Chocolatey Kickstarter Funded! A list of my current packages
Monday, December 15, 2014 at 3:39 AM UTC
The third (second successful) Kickstarter campaign that I pledged to the Chocolatey Kickstarter
campaign
was successfully funded. I always like reading what tools other developers are using so to celebrate, I thought I would
publish the packages I currently have installed.
I may have an issue with being obsessed with editors.
