<p><strong>{</strong> I've had some pretty extensive experience using every major
|
|
OS for various forms of development and end-user work. And just
|
|
like every other programmer in the world, I certainly have my
|
|
opinions, likes, and dislikes of every platform (some are a lot
|
|
closer to perfection than others of course). Text editors are the
|
|
same way. Everyone loves one or two, and hates all the others.
|
|
There are others of course: I actually know a guy who edits his
|
|
live "enterprise-level php applications" with Pico. And he says he
|
|
has been for 10 years (Note that Pico has only been out for 9
|
|
years). What a joke. > Pico is not a programmer's tool.</p>
|
|
<p>But anyway: For literally decades, there has been a great war
|
|
between unix developers.
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor_war">VI(m) vs. Emacs</a>. I am
|
|
most certainly a proponent of VI, and probably always will be. It's
|
|
a fantastic editor, and it suits my needs pefectly. And for those
|
|
of us who need something a little more streamlines there's always
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://cream.sourceforge.net/">CREAM</a>, which is a fantastic
|
|
implementation of a heavily customized GVIM that can handle
|
|
literally anything you throw at it with little or no fuss. Now all
|
|
software, in any context, is a tool. Nothing more. VI and EMACS and
|
|
all others exist for one reason: to make a programmer's life
|
|
easier. That's why they were invented, and that's why they are
|
|
maintained. Now, I still use VIM all the time in my day-to-day
|
|
life. Its wonderful to SSH into just about any *nix server on the
|
|
planet, and have VIM sitting there, waiting for me to tell it what
|
|
to do. It helps me to feel at home. I used to use it full-time for
|
|
all of my coding on my workstations as well. I was passionate about
|
|
it. I'd tote VIM all the time. VIM is great. It seemed so. It used
|
|
to. <a href="#id1"><span class="problematic" id="id2">|</span></a>image|Used to. And then there was TextMate. TextMate.
|
|
TextMate. Have a mac?
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://download-b.macromates.com/TextMate_1.5.8.dmg">Try it</a>.
|
|
Now.
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://download-b.macromates.com/TextMate_1.5.8.dmg">Download it</a>.
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://license.macromates.com/">Buy it</a>. Pirate it, I don't
|
|
care. <strong>Your life will never be the same.</strong> TextMate is seriously
|
|
the best piece of software I have come across in a very very long
|
|
time. I can code incredibly fast with it. It helps me to become a
|
|
better programmer. We all agree that you should NEVER Copy and
|
|
Paste code: but using code snippets is different. It's like... An
|
|
experience I cannot describe. I'll be purchasing a new laptop soon,
|
|
and to be honest with you, the fact that I'll have TextMate on a
|
|
mac makes me sure without a doubt to get an Apple computer. That
|
|
and the fact that Mac OS X is a FANTASTIC operating system) >
|
|
TextMate is a text editor like no other.</p>

Inline substitution_reference start-string without end-string.</div>
|
|
<p>There's nothing better. And there never will. I know that's quite
|
|
an extreme statement, but it's true. I'll do a full review
|
|
eventually. I'm just so blown away. Sorry for my thoughts being all
|
|
over the place in this post. I can't think strait.
