Whatever little scripts I wrote, I always used a GUI editor, one that 
colors the syntax of the script.  It's a habit I got from editing web 
pages in >code< mode.  I personally used kate, but I have been known to 
edit some scripts even with wordpad at times (that, however, I would not 
recommend as a good habit).
