So Emacs does 5% or what an editor should do quite will, and is surprisingly under-powered and old fashioned at the other 95%. Unfortunately, it didn't keep up with the times and fails to take advantage of the entire world of GUI design that's revolutionized computer science since then. In fairness to Emacs, its original design was conceived in that context and is rather good at some things, like flexible ability to bind commands to keyboard shortcuts. It’s a bit hard to explain the difference between TextMate and TextWrangler/BBedit briefly, but I think it’s fair to say that TextMate has a clever, endlessly expandable and modifiable structure that works very well, whereas BBEdit is a bit constrained by its design legacy, but balances that with great support and stability.User interface is terrible I was using Emacs in the early 1980's, before there were GUIs. I’d be surprised if it didn’t make NotePad++ fans happy (well, apart from the $50-60 price). I’m also very happy with TexMate – another editor that I use routinely. When I returned to OS X, I was given a new Intel license, gratis, within 24 hours.) between 20 I switched to Windows XP for a coding job and mislaid my BBEdit license. I don’t know whether there’s a key map available.)Īfter such glowing words about BBEdit, I suppose it’s proper to say that I’m not connected with BBSW I’m simply a twenty-odd (!!) year fan of BBEdit who’s been really happy with the product and the service. (There’s key reassignment, so I guess you could remap BBEdit commands to the NotePad++ keys. While TextWrangler is very good for most purposes, BBEdit really shines for big HTML, Perl and other coding jobs which need version control (e.g.subversion or CVS) FTP, scripting, plugins, clippings and so on.

Since there seem to be some new Mac users here, perhaps it’s worth mentioning that TextWrangler is the slightly trimmed free version of BBEdit. Linux-based systems are fundamentally different from OS X, despite the fact they both can run bash.

sometimes I want to make hard links).Īnd Windows is good if you’re a hardware engineer, but bad if you don’t want to be constantly worried about every skiddy in existence trying to crack your box. However, Linux-based systems are better in that they don’t treat you like an unusually stupid toddler (e.g. OS X is better than Linux-based OSs in that (in my experience) it tends to be far more reliable (i.e. P.S: And it really isn’t a black-and-white case of “one’s better”. The majority of them have absolutely nothing to do with Linus Torvalds. FreeBSD doesn’t use the Linux kernel, nor does NetBSD or OpenBSD. Similarly, the term ‘BSD Linux’ is nonsensical. If you’re running OS X, you should see a file called ‘mach_kernel’ (which, on my system, is about 15 megabytes). If you don’t believe me, open up bash (Terminal app), navigate to the root (cd /), and list the contents (ls). Linux is based on System V Unix, whereas the mach kernel/XNU kernel is based on BSD Unix. However, it isn’t Linux, and it has nothing to do with Linux. What I would love to find in a future TextWrangler version is a better dock icon, as the current one doesn’t really compete with other app icons on my dock.

TextWrangler menus can also be fully customized (check the Preferences), as well as you can find lots of options for every little aspect that can make your life easier while working with source code files.Ĭlick here for a complete features list, or download TextWrangler here. Some of the TextWrangler highlights are fast file loading, powerful search and replace functionality, a “drawer” for multiple files, FTP/SFTP support, included diff/merge tool, Terminal/scripts support, excellent encoding functionality and options. TextWrangler is a lot more advanced than Smultron, and in some areas actually even better than Notepad++. Therefore I decided to look for an alternative * free * text editor, and it was TextWrangler that has won me over. 100k lines), as well as in some cases difficulty detecting UTF-8 encoding properly.

And although it’s fast enough, I have had some issues while loading large files (e.g. The problem is that Smultron is not being developed any more.

Unfortunately Notepad++ has not been ported to Mac OS yet.įor quite a long time on Mac OS I have been running Smultron as the main text editor. While using Windows at the office, Notepad++ (free application) is my favorite text editor. Features like code syntax highlighting, line numbers, extended search and replace, proper encoding support etc, are essential elements.

However power users, or software developers are always in need of a more advanced text editor. Casual users might be satisfied with plain text editors, such as TextEdit on Mac OS, or Notepad on Windows.
