Personally, because I learned Emacs in 1986, so the control keys are hard-coded in my brain :-)

Given that ted, you don't mind me calling you ted, had asked about coding in perl - and on an OSX box, then the obvious first choice is BBedit. They have done a lovely job of being Darwin Aware and Perl Friendly.
When I am not on my darwin box, I use 'vi'.
I will confess that learning emacs to use on 1200 baud modems was just all the rage in the 80's - but then we got real networked computers. So basically I 'vi' on the other boxes only when I can use NFS/SMB to mount the directory onto my Darwin Box.
And not meaning to pick on you Andy, but of course one has to, where ever do you hide the extra digits required to do Emac's in it's Native Mode where one only needs to do a chord combo of some n-gagillion keys. Most of the Terran's I have meet have problems with that.

Fun is having the CTO decide that we need to shift to 17" Powerbooks so we can run BBedit for creating code.
