But again it's a hackers tool so not everything is as smooth as it could be. Sublime is pretty good you can write your own modules pretty easily in Python. Never got into the modules and addons, that make it special. Has tag-like stuff and everything a good IDE has.Įclipse, I found yeah, somewhat intimidating, but I did force myself to use it for a week, just as a text editor. XCode I use a little as a random text editor, but really it's designed for compiled languages - C, C++, ObjC, iPhone etc. I find Coda to be pretty similar to BBEdit and I'd gladly use it as a substitute.

It's a great all-around text editor, and (i think) TextWrangler is the free version of BBEdit. I use mostly BBEdit, but I've been around the block a little. (* personally, I find it better to write shell scripts that use rsync and symbolic links to publish files to servers - if you didn't understand that, go for Coda). Coda would be much easier to get into - but as long as I'm doing other stuff that benefits from the power of Eclipse, it makes sense to use it for HTML/PHP/JS as well.

it does do publishing of websites to a server, good luck understanding how to use it* Plus, not every plug-in has been well tested on the Mac and there are some glitches. On the other hand, Eclipse can hellishly complex to configure and use efficiently (with Java's enthusiasm for impenetrable jargon and lots of documentation that assumes that you already know what you are doing) and while. if you comment your variables, classes and functions correctly as you write you'll get hints for those, too. The PHP/Javascript support in Eclipse goes beyond the syntax colouring and keyword lookup in Coda - e.g. Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh.Actually, Eclipse has good tools for editing HTML/CSS/PHP/Javascript too, about the only thing it doesn't do that Coda does is the visual CSS editor.

So my question is this: why do both these products exist, and should I be updating my existing install of TextWrangler or moving to BBEdit? Before 5.5, I would have thought the latter, but since TextWrangler continues to be developed, is there some reason I should be sticking with it? Yet TextWrangler has just received an update. The product page encourages all current and potential TextWrangler users to try/use BBEdit instead. (Well, I haven't needed to use it since BBEdit 11 was released, which is partly why I haven't changed anything.) So I was surprised to see the release of TextWrangler 5.5. At the moment, I haven't changed anything, still using TextWrangler 5. With the recent release of BBEdit 11 and it's free mode that incorporates all of TextWrangler's features and a few more, I assumed that TextWrangler would be phased out. It more than meets my needs to do the occasional (2-3 times/month) text file editing or advanced grep search-and-replace. I've used TextWrangler since it was released (and before that BBEdit Lite), and it is a fantastic product.
