1. how do most operators configure their bgp (text editor or some
high-level configuration tool)?

I think this varies a lot depending on the network and the type of
configuration change being made.  Some folks work directly at the
command-line interface (perhaps with some cut-and-paste from previous
configs, especially for boiler-plate stuff), some use GUIs provided by
router vendors for some types of config changes, others use their own
scripts, and still others might use third-party commercial products
like Orchestream or Goldwiretech.

and some completely generate them from an enterprise database
