Agreed. At present the main issue in moving code is line terminators 
(unless you're fighting the ASCII <--> EBCDIC battle). The benefit of 
text is that file transfer software (FTP, Kermit, etc) does this 'for 
free' but even if it doesn't, very simple tools such as tr, dos2unix and 
unix2dos  will solve that problem.

I have a nasty suspicion that the transfer weapon of choice between SCID 
implementations might turn out to be voluminous XML.

Exactly the same here - I use a portable editor (microEmacs) which can be 
easily set up to use exactly the same keystrokes on almost any system 
with an ANSI C compiler. In particular, its ability to associate 
customisable formatting conventions (tab-length, line-wrap, auto-indent, 
etc) with the file extension so something I really miss in editors that 
don't support it.

I prefer to develop Java with a command line, text editor and ant. I've 
used IntelliJ and generally liked it once I'd gotten used to that busy 
screen, except for one thing: apart from specific refactoring facilities 
its text editor seemed to be missing all but the most basic editing 
functions - there were times I'd have killed for a general-purpose regex-
based search-and-replace facility.
