Cyberduck 3.0.3 Doesn't Support TextEdit

I just downloaded Cyberduck 3.0.3, hoping it could do everything WinSCP could do on Mac OS X. After downloading it, I was quite pleased that it seems quite capable and that I could configure it to edit a text file on a remote server when I double click on it. That feature is one that I really needed and is the feature that got me onto WinSCP. But in order to use that feature in Cyberduck, you have to configure an external editor. Sadly, you can't use the default TextEdit on Mac OS X. You are required to install one on its list (see screen shot below).

Personally, I'm a mean and lean type of person when it comes to computing. I only want to install software that is necessary to get the job done. I don't want to have 90 different text editor running loose on my system. So at this point, I think I'll pass on Cyberduck unless I can't find one more capable.

Title: Fugu 1.2.0 Doesn't Support TextEdit
Weblog: GearHack
Excerpt: Ok, I'm on this quest to find a SFTP/SCP graphical front-end application that lets me edit remote text files without the need to install a special graphics text editor other than the standard TextEdit application in Mac OS X. Fugu 1.2.0 is the second application I downloaded. Must like the Cyberduck . . .
