in thread Best perl editor on Ubuntu/Linux

 "That's exactly the point, with emacs or vim you will need to learn only once, thus if you have several things to do, it's better than pick a bunch of tools and study how to use all"

I'm not suggesting to try and master many editors but to simply pick a few the OP thinks they might like, try them out via their tutorials over a weekend and then — yes — pick one. Unless they have that experience of tinkering around they wont know if it's for them. That goes for emacs, vim or any editor. :)
