Hi.
Re textmate, I actually sent the author an email about this, and the
response was something like, "maybe in 2.0" and that was ages ago.
Someone elses thought about bbedit, as far as I know, won't work
either, since it has the same problem as textmate, accessible in
almost all ways *except* being able to see text, <grin>.
It seems to be a relatively common problem with cocoa text editors,
for reasons I'm not entirely sure of.
Here's what I've used for this stuff.
Smultron subethedit <not sure of the spelling on that one>
What I ended up with was vim, or more specifically, macvim. There's
some stuff about it in the archives, or at least there should be, or I
can repost with some updated content, since I've been using it since.
Learning vim initially was kind of a pain, but as a programmer for
more than ten years I can say I've never enjoyed an editor more once I
got used to it, <grin>.
Not to mention, the ruby/rails support in vim is pretty good, and some
prominent rubyists have switched to it recently.
BTW, *does* eclypse work under OS X? I mean, accessibly?
