Smultron - A nicely-done text editor
Authored by: jaysoffian on Jul 03, '06 11:01:27AM

Rob,

I assume you've looked at TextMate, but you failed to mention it. :-(

Now I understand it doesn't have split-view. Believe me, coming from Emacs I'm a split-view addict. That being said, I find the rest of TextMate so sexy that I'm willing to give up split-view for now.

Also, given how you use split-view I have to wonder if you couldn't customize TextMate's HTML bundle slightly to give you the CSS browsing you desire. You might consider hopping on #textmate (freenode) and describing how you currently use split-view and see if anyone has suggestions ... the folks who hang out on that channel are very helpful

TextMate also has snippets built-in. TM's snippets have some pros/cons compare to TextExpander snippets. The advantages I see to TE snippets are: 1) system-wide; 2) you can nest snippets; 3) sexy snippet editor UI; The advantages to TM snippets are: 1) you can embed fields inside the snippets that you can tab-between; 2) the snippets can include output from arbitrary programs. Note that TextMate's "Edit in TextMate..." plug-in allows you to edit arbitrary text fields from within TM so that might be good enough.

j.
