I reluctantly use textmate. If you can show me any open source editor that just works on OSX, I'll gladly use it (Closest I've found is jedit).
I just want a simple, easy to use, easy to learn, UI based editor with syntax highlighting.
- iron_ball 17y agoSo what's wrong with jEdit? I've used it on Windows, OSX, and Linux and found it identical in each. It has highly customizable syntax highlighting, and is easy to learn. (Some seem to find the UI ugly, but I don't.)
- axod 17y agoI've tried to install it on latest OSX 10.5.7 a few times, can't get it to work at all. I used it happily on my old macbook, but no dice now :/ Maybe I should try harder. I do like the way TextMate opens a directory tree and has it to the left or right of the edit pane, can jedit do that?
- iron_ball 17y agoYep. Integrated file browser, fairly powerful. Dockable wherever, or floating pane. Under Utilities.
