"Who doesn't like tabs?" In text editors? Me. I don't like thinking about which individual files are open. Any file under the root of my project (i.e. the editor's current working directory) is fair game for an open buffer. I treat open file as "go to class".

I think zen is the keyword. Apps like textmate or this one or mac os/apps in general are not simple because it's cool to be simple - they just hide the power that's under the hood so your tired eyes and brain can focus on the task at hand. But ultimately it's about your own zen : whatever makes each one happier and more productive, be it eclipse, netbeans, vim or textmate. I really want to break out of the terminal.…
> Have you tried MacVim? Maybe if it's in the next Debian release
Since MacVim is a Cocoa application it integrates more nicely in OS X than vim-gtk would.
With the amount of muscle memory and (deeply personalized) customization that goes in to getting comfortable with an editor, it seems like the hardest place to attract users, and since vim and emacs have already done everything worth doing in an editor (except flashy buttons I guess), it seems like the hardest place to innovate. textmate, bbedit, kod, coda, sublime text, and now this What is interesting about this sp…

TextMate 2 will be a free upgrade

this is like 5 great features from emacs, minus everything needed to turn it into a comprehensive whole and macros. Great.

Well, since TextMate 2 still hasn't come out yet, and this seems to appeal to a very similar aesthetic, I could see this taking over that market. I'm definitely very interested to try it out.

TextMate was the best editor I'd ever seen on a computer lab Mac, and when I finally bought my own one of the first things I bought was a TM license. Now there's been two years and three major Mac OS X revisions with almost no real news or updates except an id Software style "working on it."
In the interim I've become proficient with both vim and emacs, preferring console vim + tmux for now. A new editor would be hard-pressed to win me away from that, especially if they're asking for money.

This is the programmer/IDE-dweeb's version of "well yeah.. but does it run Linux?" Only half joking; the parent's comment is exactly what I thought after searching through the feature list. It's funny how, when forced to work outside of vim, the first thing I (and at least one other person, it would seem) do is try to make the environment as vim-like as possible (with usually-mixed-to-unsatisfactory results). Eclipse…
Whoa! Thanks for the heads-up on VsVim. I'll be installing that tomorrow. http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/59ca71b3-a4a3-...
