I used textmate for awhile as my job had a site wide subscription. It was that and BBEdit. I used both as much as I could. I previously came from Atom at the time with all its plugins and I thought hey textmate and BBEdit both have sort of plugin/bundle functionality. For what it’s worth if anyone is considering switching here are some pros and cons that I personally found. It’s largely based on my specific tastes as well so please if in doubt do try as they’re both excellent software. Some pros of Textmate(IIRC it was 2.0rc1 or there about): - the SSH support was very good. Textmate has functionality for this called rmate that lets you edit remote documents and I found it to be very fast and IMHO preferred this over tmux + vim for pure editing of remote files - textmate has a decent ecosystem of plugins I felt. Lots of themes and bundles for all kinds of features and languages. - out of the box editing experience is relatively well featured in broad scope The down sides: - while I felt like textmate had lots of good third party bundles a lot of them also were really old and were not well maintained. Even some that are maintained dont see tons of updates - at least for the languages I used (mostly a web stack of JS SCSS/CSS HTML and Python) the autocomplete would leave much to be desired if there was any at all. In parcular I could never quite get Jedi to work with it for python (and the listed bundle in their readme doesn’t really work and updating it wasn’t going well for me) and forget about typescript definition files. I don’t know if this changed at all. - the API (to me) was a little terse and I didn’t feel it was super well documented IMO. I also found that a lot of the documentation wasn’t or didn’t feel like it was as current as the API could handle too and examples that were up to date are very sparse. So generally if you rely on very good autocomplete like you get in VS Code, Atom, or an IDE it might not be the best fit for you. This of course was at the time and a lot of this may have improved I have not investigated this in some time. I have similar feelings about BBEdit for what it’s worth.
