Absolutely -- a good editor is worth a lot! Besides, most of us edit a
bunch of other kinds of text files, so getting to know a good editor is
very useful.

It's Python mode isn't great either -- Barebones simply doesn't want to
believe that indenting is a key feature! That being said, I use it a
lot, it's really pretty nice and full featured.

I know. bummer. It had such promise.

Check out Peppy:

It's not totally mature yet, but it's under active development:
http://groups.google.com/group/peppy-dev?hl=en
and definitely headed in the right direction.
It'd be great to get some more Mac users on board...
