I think it is important to use an editor that makes syntax colouring and apply rules of indentations and use of spaces/tabs coherent with the rest of the file. It even makes more sense if it is files like YAML for configuration.

By the way, I use Emacs for this. It is kind of the same than using Vim, except you can exit it.
