I apologize in advance for the off-topic nature of this posting. I've recently been lamenting the shortcomings of my current text editor for my purposes (SubEthaEdit since my copy of BBEdit is Classic and a new one costs way to much for my budget). I did a quick google search to try and find out what other options are out there, particularly in the F/OSS realm and with good support for XML/HTML/etc. And I couldn't find anything in particular. So, in my infinite (lack of) wisdom I've decided that it might be good to write my own.
If you want to write one because you think it'll be fun, okay.
But if you want to write one because you think you'll save money: suppose you earn about $40/hour. BBEdit upgrade costs about 60 bucks. Do you think it'll require more than one and a half hours of your time to write something better for your needs than BBEdit?
