Here's my perspective as former Mac OS/Unix user (before Mac /became/
unix). 

I used BBEdit as my editor. I had it set to "auto convert line endings"
when I opened them. I also had it set to save files with Unix line
breaks by default.

The result was that I could seamlessly open, view, edit and save Unix
files without a problem. 

Now I work purely in Unixland, and don't have a strong opinion of #1 or
#2.
