There Is More Than One Way To Do It.

That's Canon. That's law. Heretics that suggest otherwise will be burned.

Use what you like. I like vim/gvim. Others like Emacs. They're weird.

Still others like BBEdit. They're even weirder. But I like them all.

The people that is, not the editors.

Just use whatever you're efficient with. If you like vi, you might want to
try out vim, just because it's a nice superset of vi's features (all the
same functionality, plus command history, multiple undos, tab completion
of :commands, an very nice but very optional GUI, syntax highlighting,
etc). People that have been using Macs for a long time all seem to love
BBEdit, and supposedly it has strong Perl support and can be partially
driven from the command line (bbedit++ for that one), but *shrug* vim is
Free (as in beer & as in speech)  which is a nice trump card for me.
