Good selection of nodes cjf, I would like to add the node Favorite or most wanted text editor features? as I think that listing features that people like or miss is also helpful. Another, more recent node, Whats your development environment also points out that things other than just the editor (SSH support) may also be important.

I believe that there are good editors/IDEs available, but often we tend to use one which we are most familiar with, even if there are better ones. I still use Programmer's File Editor, just becase I came to it before anything else....

There is also a long, though not complete list, of Perl editors on the Outside Links page.
