Ditto that. I like jedit myself - free, and tons of plugins. I use it on
Gnome/Linux and WinXP, but haven't tried it on OS X. I'd be curious to hear
how it runs on OS X (I also find it kind of funny that people pay for TM
when ruby, rails, and ____sql are open source - but then again, if you're
shelling out for a Mac, TM is probably a small expense for a good editor in
comparison to the hardware purchase).
