Maybe it's time I migrated off TextMate.
- al_borland 2y agoIs TextMate still being maintained? Last time I looked, there were very few signs of life. If that is accurate, the clock is ticking until Apple inevitably drops Rosetta support on Apple Silicon Macs sometime in the (probably not too distant) future.
- tectiv3 2y agoit is Apple Silicon native
- whywhywhywhy 2y agoIt's open source, think the developer is on a break from it. He's left it for a few years then done a set of updates in the past or fixed it if it broke because of an Apple update previously. Ultimately it kinda does everything it needs to.
- est 2y agoI migrated off textmate to sublime, never regreted it.
- js2 2y agoI've tried a few times, but Sublime is so obviously not a native Mac app, I find it painful to use. It's definitely the closest match to TM though; it was pretty obvious it was inspired by TM. I think it even used to (still does?) use the same language grammars as TM (regexes that define scopes, basically).
- whywhywhywhy 2y agoI still use it, just love the Mac style text manipulation shortcuts, the way spell check actually works properly and natively in code (Spell check within strings only) which VSCode can't seem to handle with any of the plugins that claim to. I use VSCode on Windows but no matter what I do to it I can't get it feeling right.
- ptico 2y agoTried few times, nothing beats TextMate ergonomics. It's just a small things like the cursor will be in a place where it should be after autocompletions or closing brackets will align where they belongs to, but it makes huge difference for me
- maratc 2y agoI have the same thought occasionally, but then never go on as to actually do something. I tried Sublime but it's just not nearly the same level.
