I will say this though, I do a lot of editing of files on PCs,
FreeBSD servers, Linux machines, and other Macs. I use vi or n+ +
most of the time, because most of the time I have minor edits to
make. But if my editing involves more than a few minutes worth of
work, I move the file to my Mac, edit it in BBEdit, and then movie
it back. the time I 'lose' transferring the file is more than
made up for by the reduced level of aggravation and the greater
ease in actually getting my work done.
Why move it at all? Edit it remotely -- a feature in BBEdit since
4.5.1 or so.
Because I have never figured out, despite some attempts at
explanation, how to edit, for example, /etc/httpd/httpd.conf on my
FreeBSD system with BBEdit remotely.
The vast majority of the remote files I edit like that require
special permissions. Of course, if it's HTML, I just mount he webDAV
share and edit the files in place.
