Linux can't compete with Textmate? You must be kidding me. I could make fun of Textmate and 37 signals who popularized it, but I really don't want to start flamewars. Come on... Unix is the king when it comes to text editors for programmers: vim&emacs rule.
Besides, there is simply co much to look at when it comes to pedestrian text editing (Textmate style): netbeans, komodo, eclipse+plugins, aptana - all built for Linux first, OS X - second.
- sant0sk1 19y agoI was born and raised on vim. I love it. I use it exclusively from any CLI I come across. I agree with you, it rules. From my Leopard desktop I can use Textmate and vim simultaneously. And I do. All day. I can't do that in Ubuntu.
- mironathetin 19y agoMy favorite editors are BBedit and Textwrangler. I can tell that there is NO alternative on Linux. Vi(m) and Emacs are great and powerful editors, but they have a completely different philosophy than BBedit (or Textmate, or SubEthaEdit). If you are looking for something similar on linux, you are stuck with JEdit. Although JEdit is also a first class editor after years of using it I am bored and want an alternative. There is Nedit, Kate and this stuff. Not usable if you compare them feature wise with JEdit or BBedit. From my perspective, its the other way round: Mac editors rule and linux is editing desert.
