Smultron - A nicely-done text editor
Authored by: wgscott on Jul 04, '06 03:05:34PM

I like(d) SubEthaEdit better, although I really want to like Smultron better. The interface of SEE is much cleaner somehow, and there are many nice features. Originally it was to be open-source. Then it became free to non-commercial users, then non-commercial users had to put up with an ugly watermark that periodically would proclaim to the world (or at least the viewing audience) that you were a potential thief, and now it is payware. Meanwhile it became bloated and sluggish. I never used its collaborative editing feature, so I don't see much point in buying it. (The old one is still free to noncommercial users). If I buy one it is going to be TextMate. Based on the above comments I am trying it out. If at the end of the month I am an addict, I will pay for the fix.

vim, meanwhile, is a wonderful editor.

Here, here.

Now what we need is a better, more mac native gui for vim. If I had that, my greatest dream for the mac would be realized. I know that official vim website has a mac vim gui, but it just doesn't feel mac-ish enough, if you know what I mean.
