If you're an aspiring painter, you buy brushes, paper, inks, etc. If you're an aspiring CSS guru, you buy the CSS editor that makes you more productive. For me it's Vim (whoa wait... free!), for some it's Textmate, and for most it's CSS Edit. Also in CSS Edit's defense there is no better visual CSS editor, and there hasn't been one for years and years. If you're into CSS I'd reckon buying CSS Edit is the best way to go. If you're going to be into programming also, I'd say take a look into Vim, Emacs, or Textmate and never look back.
