I use TextMate. The things I like about it are: PROS +[1] there are Active4D plugins for it which make it highlight both html and Active4D keywords +[2] it's got a nice "Project" mode which lets you group all your scripts as a project. You can do "Insidery" type stuff like do global finds and replacements of variable names and keywords across the entire project with a single command +[3] the A4D plugins let you template Fusebox documentation and some other fuses +[4] last but not least, it's a proper text editor which means it's fast. (What I mean by that is that there's not too much intelligence going on in the background. On the other hand. apps like "MacRabbit Espresso" have a slight delay whenever you type anything which makes it feel more like a terminal window than an editor) CONS - [1] in project view, it adds a tab for every single document you access which renders it kind of useless. It's easier to find your target script in the hierarchical sidebar than a tab control with the last 20 items you accessed in it - [2] the reflective quote helper is a bit annoying. (That's when TextMate adds a second quote mark as soon as you've typed one. You have to back space - then it deletes both - then add a single one etc) but easily liveable with Overall, the pluses far outweigh the minus IMHO. OTHER APPS Esspresso - looks promising but I still prefer the rawness of TextMate http://macrabbit.com/espresso/ Coda - everyone says it's great but I've never used it and Active4D doesn't seem to support it so I didn't bother Dreamweaver - simply horrible ! :) Enough said.
