I agree with everything except "3. Pick a real programmers[sic] editor."
You should use what is easiest for you to use (whether it's nano or a gui app -sublime!) and not feel pressured to be shoehorned into the emacs v. vi v. vim v. whatever, just to feel like a badass. There's a reason for this comic: http://xkcd.com/378/ , and that is that the entire debate is silly.

I agree 100% to that. If you put some effort into vim or emacs, it actually becomes easy to use and more productive than conventional editors. Its the learning curve that people cant tolerate, not the real editors.
