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.

    I'd love having PHP code true autocompletion, API reflexion, type hinting through the phpdoc... Wait, this is PDT! ;-)

    Nice but I want to get back to Smultron. Not sure there's any gain with TextMate.

    The asymmetric nature of Cocoa's version of the emacs key bindings drives me batty when using TextMate for full time editing--great I just C-v'd down a page, now how do I M-v back up? TextMate's project and file interface, its auto-balancing of inserted text, and its snippets are great though. I suspect TextMate offers more than I've been able to extract from it; I just need to summon the patience to get there.

    I suspect this to be textmate, but then started from the commandline...

    You don't have to be a programmer or hacker to love this app (although it probably does help). I have forgotten what I used to know about coding, but still find countless reasons to feel glad I bought this. It's my default app for all text files. "My name is alarob and I approve this software."

    its a program that keeps on giving. Every time I use it I discover some truly useful feature that would only be implemented by a developer with an impeccable sense of details
