Your editor is such a central part of the workflow that I really can't see how you can choose something else if the one you like better costs just 50$. You will be using it for countless hours, so if you really liked TextMate more then vim I'd say go and buy it.
That being said, I use Vim, and I do have licensed TextMate. In fact we have bought 6 licenses for TextMate but not using them as we all switched back to vim.
- jannes 15y agoI think you might have overlooked this bit: He's an illustrator/character designer and needed a text editor on Tiger (old laptop) for editing html/css/etc. It doesn't sound like it's a "central part" of his workflow, so that's why he didn't want to buy an editor.
- Vitaly 15y agowell, a designer that needs to edit html/css sound like a part of a full-design-stack solution to me. which means he does edit it for a non trivial amount of time, so something like TextMate or Coda might fit the bill pretty well. If you are doing anything in a professional capacity (i.e. getting payed for it) then even a very slight improvement in productivity will pay for it self almost immediately when we are talking about a 50$ price tag.
