Does TextEdit have features or performance that Sublime, VS Code, or Atom cannot match? I'm always open to a new editor, just want to understand its sweet spot and strengths.
- jon-wood 8y agoNot really - the thing to understand here is that TextMate isn't really a new editor, if anything it was one of the first of the new breed of extensible GUI based editors that Sublime, VS Code, and Atom have refined.
- whywhywhywhy 8y agoIt's main feature is it actually feels and behaves like an OS X app. Obviously for many people this really doesn't matter but a niche of people this is a huge advantage.
- aequitas 8y agoThis is mainly my reason for using it as well. It's hard to describe but other editors just don't feel at home on the mac for me. Small things like how the cursor navigates across the document and the modifier keys to select parts of text.
