Speaking of open-source programmer text editors, what's the best embeddable editor control for OSX? Sort of like a Scintilla for the OSX world.

#22If TextMate 2.0 is not released soon (or doesn't meet expectations), MacroMates is in trouble.
Kod is pretty far away from being a "usable" editor (in its current state), so TextMate 2 isn't nearing imminent doom. Besides, there was a blog post about TM2 nearing completion, which means it should ship sometime around Summer 2008. loljk
I'm pretty excited about Kod in general though; the design has a real great start, and the scripting foundations he's building seem really interesting. Open sourcing it should (hopefully) speed it along to reliability and completeness sooner rather than later, too. Will be a fun product to watch.

I really wish people would stop complaining about TextMate 2.0, just because it's been talked about doesn't mean the current version stopped working or lost features. I'm a daily TextMate user for nearly 6 years and it has never once not met my expectations. It's first app I install on a new machine/install.
Kod is a great start so far, but still has a ways to catch up. I wish the developer the best and that it works out for him. Hope it doesn't turn out like Smultron (now Fraise).

Another good alternative is Redcar

Fine for a free application, a wise decision.
Fine for any application; nobody can dictate which platforms anyone must support and which they can't. 10.6 is much nicer than 10.5 on a bunch of levels. It's slightly annoying now, but will pay off in the future.
If you say so. :( That it will be worth the wait till I skip 10.6 and upgrade straight to Lion. Was looking forward to using something shiny.

Agreed (about textmate always meeting expectations) -- except for lack of chunked undo :)

Why'd you skip 10.6? It was $30.

And the fact that it crashes every window when opening a file more than a meg. Or that it doesnt detect git changes (have to restart the app). And it doesn't have splitscreen.
Do you people just have supremely low expectations?

Granted it's a one of the most used software on my laptop, it's definitely not at the "never once not met my expectations" level. I don't think I have super high expectations either... I want soft-wrap to happen properly. I could go on with list of needs but it's pointless.
I've given up hope that there will be ever an update and learnt to live with v1.x. However, that's just settling. As soon as I find something better, I'm gone. I bought Espresso with the hope that supporting that would encourage a lot of development but MacRabbit has been pretty slow on the improvement side as well (as shown by the sparsity on their blog http://macrabbit.com/blog/) so I've had to make do with TM since it feels better and more natural than Espresso for now.

And also a HUGE improvement in a lot of different areas! Speed, especially.
