And if you do more front-end things sublime and textmate will suffice. My 2 cents I think if you keep your hands in the terminal, macvim or emacs is the way to go.

And you have absolute trust on perfect implementation quality? Remember Schneier's law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schneier%27s_Law Any encryption which is not completely open sourced and is using well reviewed algorithms in a well reviewed implementation is not trustworthy. There are 1000s of examples where companies simply lied, fucked up implementations, or thought it'd be great to invent their own algorithms. Solution: choose one or two cheap online storage services, encrypt locally using established and well studied software tools and move those already encrypted data in the cloud. «Spideroak and Crashplan explain the encryption process very detailed on their websites.»
