CotEditor – Text Editor for OS X • Hacker News Board

I'm pretty effective with vim, so much that other 'normal' editors like sublime & other modern gui editors make me feel a little crippled. That is a problem, because you need to be flexible about things in life.

Has anyone succeeded in deliberately changing editors, even when not feeling like it's necessary? I'm especially curious how I could start using emacs, and actually get up to speed with it instead of using it as Notepad/TextEdit (as I would do if I started today)?

Not sure why the site advertises "Just for OS X" as if it's a feature.

Because it implies a fully native app, which is a feature to some people.

Have you tried using one of those IDEs written in Java?

I don't get it. Haven't they ever heard of vim/emacs?

Do those support native OSX key bindings?

Why the emphasis on character encodings?
