The most popular text editor/IDE on Mac OS X

Share
TextMate is a general-purpose GUI text editor for Mac OS X. It provides users with innovative abstractions to support declarative customizations which are at once transparent and flexible. Though its users are mostly programmers, and its basic feature set has a steeper learning curve than simpler graphical editors, TextMate is much easier to customize than many other text editors. Notable features include tabs, recordable macros, folding sections and snippets, shell integration, and an extensible bundle system, all built around its novel scope system. TextMate 1.5 won the Apple Design Award for best developer tool in 2006.

    Was an early user of Textmate and loved it. Tried several IDE's for coding and still come back to TM every time. Even if it lacks things like native code-completion and docblock info-popups, it's still a superb editor!

    Among my top appreciated mac apps.
    It's always open. It's just that I am currently not TextMate literate enough to use it closer to its full potential.

    Starting to like TextMate more and more. Trial period is about to end so I guess it's about time to buy it.

    I love TextMate, you can create a project and compile it in Xcode (C/C++, etc.), though I'm more used to Xcode's editor since I'm more comfortable working with 1 app instead of 2 apps essentially doing the same.

    However for quick edits for various languages I get in touch with I use TextMate. It's awesome and well worth the price!
