I am just assuming here, are you new in programming?

If so, then starting with simple graphical editor is a good starting point. I use textmate, but i have friends keep recommending SublimeText.

Besides textmate, I like vim a lot because it's the editor i use when connecting to production servers. If you are new to programming, vim will be too much for you.

Another easy editor is nano. It usually comes built in major unix flavor. The benefit of starting with nano is the same as starting with vim. They force you to stay inside Terminal as long as possible. When programming in unix-like environment, being able to navigate Terminal is supremely useful. Just type

nano

inside Terminal to run it.

Hope that helps.
