What motivated you to add Programming Tools to the list of Requests for Startups? Was there a YCombinator company in particular that opened your eyes up to the opportunity in that market?

I ask because I develop programming tools and other accelerators and incubators don't believe a large enough market exists for these tools.

I await their announcement eagerly. :)

Personally, Chris Granger's Light Table opened my eyes to the fact that there remains a lot of room for innovation when it comes to developer tools. I was glad to see he had been accepted into YC.
