What texteditor are you using?

[weneedsound]

There are two text editors that I would recommend for Mac users.

1) Smultron: http://smultron.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
Pro: Free, lightweight and no bloat.
Con: It doesn't have a hierarchical file browser so its not really great for large projects.

2) Textmate: http://macromates.com/
Pro: lots of useful features but still feels lightweight.
Con: I can't think of any :updown:**I love this text editor.

I use ultraedit on pc as well. It has some really great poweruser features.

Here is the video that sold me on textmate: http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/flickr-rails-ajax.mov

Shows great use of the auto complete feature of textmate.**Its very comprehensive.


Come on guys; Everyone has a favorite texteditor. Its like your ninja sword of weddev. :1bluewinky:

[jacob]

Dreamweaver in code view
EditPlus

I learned to code in notepad but favor something with color coding and hopefully a code-complete type functionality

 

[EWebscapes]

umm.. notepad. *hanging head in shame for not being more geeky about my text editors*

[Stanley]

Notepad++
I used EditPad Pro for a while but NotePad is free and it's more versatile.
Dreamweaver is too big. I dont need a WYSIWYG editor
Notepad (windows version) was okay until you start mixing javascript with css and php on the same file, I needed something with color coding because it makes life a lot easier.
