7 CommentsHopin' that the community might be able to direct me to a few text editors. I've been using TextWrangler for a long time, mostly to hack and slash my way through Wordpress. A friend recently turned me onto Sumltron, which I'm loving in part because it's written in Cocoa.
Anyway, my recent switch got me wondering what else is out there to play with. Suppose, I could find some myself but thought it's be fun to get some suggestions. Free is always nice but I don't hesitate throwing down money for quality.
So, any suggestion or leads on a great Text Editor I can use to bulldoze my Wordpress site?

TextMate for sure. All the way.
Oh, and if you're just doing HTML/CSS/PHP, I would also HIGHLY recommend skEdit.
They both take different directions when it comes to autocompletion, and both are worthy -- but luckily both of them have free trials too (yay). So, it's all good all the time.

I would also give a strong recomendation for TextMate, the customization and exapandability are limitless. I use it every day =)

Thanks for the tips Kyle and Pablo. I'll check out TextMate and skEdit this weekend. I don't really use TextWrangler for more than screwing around with Wordpress so it does fine on that front but it's fun to see what else is available.
Much appreciated guys.

I use TextWrangler because it's free and allows a somewhat "tabby" interface (more like OmniWeb tabs along the side, but not thumbnails) and works with some BBEdit plugins...it's BBEdit Lite for the 21st century.

My vote goes towards Textmate. I switched from skEdit awhile ago now. Yet, skEdit does have better syntax "support" for ASP - if you are workin in a Windows-oriented office and are forced to use ASP for some reason ( as I was years ago ).
