- tyingq 9y agoInteresting. Curious what about it made it your favorite vs other available Mac editors. I'm not a Mac person, but my impression is that unix/x11 ports are generally not favored by Mac owners if there's a comparable native application.
- Kluny 9y agoSafe to say it was also the first text editor I ever used for programming. I think Learn Python the Hard Way mentioned it (for linux users), so that's probably where I found it. My memory's a little fuzzy, but I switched to TextWrangler after that and thought it was shit by comparison. Then I was on a PC at work and used Notepad++ for years and now I'm back on a Mac using Atom, Vim and PHPStorm depending on what I'm doing, and all three of those are probably better than gedit. Still have fond memories though. I guess it must have just been the clean simplicity of it. That was before I knew most of the keyboard shortcuts I use now, so maybe that's all it was.
