Ch2: code editor (move detailed content to wiki)
This feels overly detailed in the flow of the chapter. I recommend keeping the general point about using an external editor but moving the below content to a wiki article and linking to that here.
If you are working in R, \textbf{RStudio} is the typical choice.\sidenote{ \url{https://www.rstudio.com}} For Stata, the built-in do-file editor is the most widely adopted code editor, but \textbf{Atom}\sidenote{\url{https://atom.io}} and \textbf{Sublime}\sidenote{\url{https://www.sublimetext.com}} can also be configured to run Stata code externally, while offering great code accessibility and quality features. (We recommend setting up and becoming comfortable with one of these.) For example, these editors can access an entire directory -- rather than a single file -- which gives you access to directory views and file management actions, such as folder management, Git integration, and simultaneous work with other types of files, without leaving the editor.
