I'm a sysadmin, not a rockstar like you coding types. I edit config files, and (lately) edit .csv's for management so excel can show them what they want to see.
My servers are a mix of AIX/RHEL/FreeBSD. I'm stuck with AIX for all the 'important stuff' so usually need to copy the files over to a RHEL box so I can atleast use a modern incarnation of vim over vi.
