![]() I'll give up a nice TM theme for "always works and never crashes". ![]() It doesn't have a giant themes or plugin site, but it can open files as big as your available RAM while staying fast. (Their recent "command-p-alike" is great, for example) tmTheme support now! You must support Python as a scripting language and get rid of AppleScript! You must, you must, you must!īut BBEdit doesn't break, and when it does release a feature comparable to the rest of the pack, it's solid and "fits", aesthetically and functionally. You want to yell at Bare Bones and say, you must implement. I've played around with them and it's always a question of spending time trying to get the keymaps "right" and which plugin do I use on X to replicate the functionality of X-1. I love precisely 2 things about it: it takes care to not break, and it takes care to avoid trends.Įveryone used TextMate, then everyone switched to Atom, then Sublime, now VS Code. Non-Mac people don't get it.I've been using BBEdit since OS9. Coda and BBEdit and textedit xcode and just about anything from Apple supports it, including the terminal. Safari and Chrome support it, Firefox doesn't. No Find windows to get in the way, just really fast and cool. You select an error message in the terminal window or browser, cmdE, flip the window into your editor, cmdG and you're looking at the same error message in that program. On the Mac, there's a system-wide search string, shared between apps, but doesn't overwrite the clipboard. My biggest problem with many of these editors was the lack of cmd E to pick up a search string. But again it's a hackers tool so not everything is as smooth as it could be. ![]() Sublime is pretty good you can write your own modules pretty easily in Python. Never got into the modules and addons, that make it special. Has tag-like stuff and everything a good IDE has.Įclipse, I found yeah, somewhat intimidating, but I did force myself to use it for a week, just as a text editor. XCode I use a little as a random text editor, but really it's designed for compiled languages - C, C++, ObjC, iPhone etc. I find Coda to be pretty similar to BBEdit and I'd gladly use it as a substitute. It's a great all-around text editor, and (i think) TextWrangler is the free version of BBEdit. ![]() I use mostly BBEdit, but I've been around the block a little. ![]() (* personally, I find it better to write shell scripts that use rsync and symbolic links to publish files to servers - if you didn't understand that, go for Coda). Coda would be much easier to get into - but as long as I'm doing other stuff that benefits from the power of Eclipse, it makes sense to use it for HTML/PHP/JS as well. it does do publishing of websites to a server, good luck understanding how to use it* Plus, not every plug-in has been well tested on the Mac and there are some glitches. On the other hand, Eclipse can hellishly complex to configure and use efficiently (with Java's enthusiasm for impenetrable jargon and lots of documentation that assumes that you already know what you are doing) and while. if you comment your variables, classes and functions correctly as you write you'll get hints for those, too. The PHP/Javascript support in Eclipse goes beyond the syntax colouring and keyword lookup in Coda - e.g. Actually, Eclipse has good tools for editing HTML/CSS/PHP/Javascript too, about the only thing it doesn't do that Coda does is the visual CSS editor. ![]()
