MacVim + PeepOpen (http://peepcode.com/products/peepopen http://peepcode.com/products/peepopen) are a pretty decent alternative, particularly if you already have some experience in vim.
If you don't have a history of vim mastery, you should still think about it. Yehuda Katz wrote an interesting blog article[1] on his experience switching to MacVim as a vim beginner relying on OSX-isms.

- trampsymphony 16y agoFWIW, I just switched from Textmate to MacVim 6 days ago, and am already nearly as productive in it as I was on Textmate (no prior vim experience) I personally found it best to just embrace the vimness (with cheat-sheets beside my monitor). I barely accomplished any work on day 1, but by the end of day 2 I was moving along pretty comfortably.
- Deadsunrise 16y agoI switched some months ago and I'm not going back. Don't forget to install vimperator on firefox too. I posted some screenshots of my setup here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2053516 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2053516 Using tmux instead of normal terminal tabs is also a huge improvement.
