(In reference to the discussion of TextMate).

I'm also not hooked on TextMate. Yet. My main objection is that undo is 
one-character-at-a-time, which I find utterly maddening for extensive 
undo. I also find it a bit cluttered and clumsy in some ways, but would 
be willing to overlook that to get the great features if I could get 
chunky undo.

I'm still using Pepper and am reasonably happy with it. I find it very 
clean and powerful but has some bugs and is no longer supported so 
they'll not be fixed.

Smultron, TextWrangler and SubEthaEdit are fine alternatives if you 
don't need some advanced features. I find TextWrangler/BBEdit's 
find/replace dialog box appallingly clumsy so gave up on BBEdit years 
ago and only use TextWrangler when desperate.

I used WingIDE Professional for awhile and it is amazing in some ways, 
but some aspects of the editor are just too clumsy (scroll-wheel 
scrolling is hard to control on Mac, the find/replace dialog box can 
only be part of the main window to work properly...).

Someday I should try to learn emacs again. I already know vim is not for 
me (I was pretty good at vi at one time, but now the modality drives me 
crazy). I personally prefer programs that don't require a lot of 
memorization.

Just my two bits.
