+## Overview
+
+When editing an Avro schema, everyone has a preferred editor. Some use an IDE,
like IntelliJ, PyCharm, RustRover or
+Visual Studio, while others prefer a more humble text editor like Atom/Pulsar,
Emacs or Vim.
+
+Most provide help when working with Avro via JSON support (for JSON schemata)
by offering syntax highlighting and
+formatting. Some provide more help, for example syntax highlighting for IDL
schemata, code completion, error
+highlighting and more.
+
+The IDEs and editors that we know to support Avro better than just editing
schemata as JSON files are listed below in
+alphabetical order.
+
+## Eclipse
+
+Eclipse is a free IDE that provides extensions via the [Eclipse
Marketplace](https://marketplace.eclipse.org/).
