The only two things I miss from Windows are Notepad++ and Total Commander (Ultima Prime). Killer combo.
As with text editor, I never used Notepad++ too much but at the moment I use Komodo Edit. It seems fine to me and it is cross platform.
I come from a Windows background and recently switched to Mac at work. I'm a pretty heavy user of Notepad++ but so far all the good text editors I've found for Mac are shareware. What good free text editors do you recommend on Mac that have similar features, like syntax highlighting, auto-indent, and regular expression support?

Doesn't get better than Sublime Text 2 - cross platform too.
oopps - not free though.
2. Also love the way it opens large files.

The biggest reasons are being able to open projects and view all of the files in the project (and search through all of them) at a quick command. I really liked the themeing functions. Multiple OS compatibility (I regularly switch between macOS and Windows), so I needed a client that is used basically the same on both OS's. And one license is for all of the computers you use, and on all operating systems. The more I…
Searching through files in my project is one of the few reasons i keep terminal windows open next to N++. A quick `find . | grep "php$" | xargs grep "search_term" -isl"` or even `grep -Ilir "search term"` is never too far away, but it would be great if it were closer. My other nitpicks with N++ are the lack of a "yes to all" on the change-detection dialog when you do a hg update, and the way gedit seems to do ctags s…
The Zeus editor has ctags support that is effectively automatic..
All the user has to do is create a project/workspace and add files to that workspace.
Ahh Notepad++. My editor of choice when I first got into programming. After switching to Mac years ago, I have been using TextMate/Xcode/Emacs. There are only 3 things I look back on fondly from Windows: MSPaint, Winamp, and Notepad++.

still worth a mention. been using sublime text 2 since the early beta and bought it almost right away, it's that good. i've been a big notepad++ fun in the past, but since for some now i've been working on both osx and win, it had been a pain to switch between different editors. sublime text 2 is cross platform and supports all kind of extensions. cannot recommend it strongly enough.
