You may not get a discount on a site license, but at least a few of them would pick vim/emacs, so it'd likely even out. Just make sure everyone knows to use spaces and not tabs, and you'll do fine. Matthew smillie. HelloI am evaluating a number of editors for my company for Rails and utility development.

I am looking at TextMate SubEthaEdit Komodo I would appreciate any recommendations. ThanksDan I haven't tried out Komodo, but I really like TextMate.

It's fast, fluid, and behaves like you expect an editor to. Although SubEthaEdit's (hitherto 'SEE') collaboration feature is great, TextMate is faster (just watch the colourization of the souce code - SEE is super slow).

Ruby Editor For Windows

TextMate also allows you to hook into the underlying terminal to script new things - be it automated text, templates, 'snippets' or macros. Something else TextMate does that SEE doesn't do is column editing. VERY helpful. For the record, I use both. I use TextMate when doing coding on my own, but SEE when coding in groups.

If TextMate had SEE's collaboration feature, I'd give up SEE forever. Good luck in making a decision! I would strongly recommend Radrails.

You can download the standalone IDE here: It is open source and allows for easy integration with CVS/SVN and is backed by on the industry's most popular IDE's, Eclipse. I tried Textmate (after all it seems everybody in the videos is using it), but was not interested in paying for what I could get for free.

And I didn't find any feature sets over Radrails/Eclipse. In fact I found the Radrails/Eclipse platform to be much more flexible and backed by an open source community. You can also set up Eclipse and simply install the Radrails plugin. Let me know if you need help with that. Hope this helps.

I don't do a lot of development on OS X, but when I do I use the same thing I use on other platforms: Emacs. On OS X, I use the GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 binary for 10.3 that I got at The guy who compiled it (Andrew Choi) has since switched to XEmacs Both of these work fine with ruby-mode.el, which comes with Ruby.

I hope this helps, Tim. -Original Message- From: mailto: On Behalf Of Gary Watson Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 19:36 To: ruby-talk ML Subject: Re: Editor on Mac OS X Gennady Bystritsky wrote: gvim works great on Mac.

I was wondering if you could post a quick blurb on how to use this feature. I would be very interested. Thanks againGary Watson - Posted via.

I use the version from S. Zenitani, at the following website: Also see the following for more information: This version uses recent CVS, and comes with a number of packages.

Ruby-mode is already included and configured. There are packages available for Tiger for both powerpc and x86 based macs. And there is also a build available for Panther, but not by the original maintainer. Thought this might be helpful for some.

matthew smillie. Co-ercing, or even just.encouraging. people to use an editor leads to tension, unless there's other requirements you didnt specify, like source code management, GUI development, if they're also doing python/perl, C/C/Java or other (y'know, PHP) coding etc.

This list has noted textmate undo leaves something to be desired, and komodo debugging rails has issues, if you 'Search this Group'. Have you looked at Jedit also?

Coders need to code in the editor they are used to, period.

I want vim (occasionally TextMate, cos hey, it's there), the next guy wants emacs, some want TextMate 100% of the time, and they all work. It's just that vim works better.:-) this list has noted textmate undo leaves something to be desired, and komodo debugging rails has issues, if you 'Search this Group'.

Have you looked at Jedit also? You know, I've never heard of a Jedit-'fan'. Are there any here?

I've never dabbled with it much because it's Java and I still think of Java as being slow and cludgy. Is it worth a play? Incidentally, on Windows, the Cream extension of vim is truly lovely.

I can use the same config files on all 5 platforms I use.

The instructor of the java course I'm taking now has even tried to frighten us into using JBuilder, saying, 'Get used to industry-standard tools before you're in over your head!' The OSX version of JBuilder, incidently, crashes when changing LookAndFeels.

I didn't bother to try to debug it. I just opened up Vim.

YMMV, Tim Hammerquist. On Feb 4, 2006, at 1:23, Dan Munk wrote: HelloI am evaluating a number of editors for my company for Rails and utility development.

I think I've finally been won over on that issue. I still use tabs in my own code, but before distributing it, I replace them with spaces.

Everyone, who wants to develop websites, needs an HTML editor or rather a development environment. There are, of course, several fee-based editors of high quality, but if you do not need your development environment every day, a free application will be perfectly fine. That an editor is free of charge does not mean that it is of low quality. One of the best development environments is available as permanently free evaluation version. You can “test” it as long as you want. However, if the editor suits you, you should be fair and purchase it.

Below, we present you a selection of the best free HTML editors for macOS. CotEditor 2.o CotEditor is a relatively new and fresh development for everyone who doesn’t need his editor on a daily basis and simply wants a good editor with syntax highlighting. You can consider CotEditor as Notepad for OS X. It provides, besides a viable code completion, a very good search-and-replace function, a split view to partition the editor window in several fields, good syntax highlighting for 40 programming languages and comes with eight themes. For a simple editor, you can customize the application more than you’d have expected; the is certainly worth trying out. This is one of the eight themes: Brackets Brackets is a modern open source editor with several extremely interesting features.

For example, when used in combination with Adobe Creative Cloud Extract (=preview) it can read design data such as colors, types, histories etc. Directly from a PSD file and transform it into minimalistic, correct CSS code. Likewise, you can extract layers as images, use the information from the PSD as variables in a preprocessor, and easily determine distances and proportions of elements – all without exiting the editor. Please remember: Using Adobe Creative Cloud requires a paid subscription. Another significant advantage of Brackets are the expansions, which you can use to customize the editor to your needs. Every three or four weeks another extension becomes available. The full support of preprocessors should also be mentioned.

With Brackets, you can use “quick edit” and “live preview” when working with LESS as well as SCSS files, which makes the working process much easier. Together with the right extensions and Adobe Creative Cloud (Extract), this editor can even cover the needs of a professional. A short video introduction to Brackets. Sublime Text 2 is the minimalistic favorite of developers, because it can easily be completely customized to one’s own needs by using a JSON file.

Moreover, there are several extensions to “stretch” the editor with. For example, a must-have extension is, which you can use to easily find and install extensions and plug-ins from right within the editor. To describe the full extent of features of Sublime Text 2 is rather difficult, as it can do, through its plug-ins and extensions, basically anything you need it to do.

As an example for a useful plug-in, look at the (for finding connected brackets and tags), (previously Zen Coding – for extremely fast coding) and (draws attention to mistakes in the source code). A high-quality auto-completion feature is already built into Sublime Text 2.

There are also several themes to choose from. A lot more can be installed. All standard functions such as search and replace are, of course, included. The editor is available as an evaluation version without enforced time limit, so that you may use it for free permanently. Nonetheless, you should purchase the license for fairness sake if you are certain that you will keep the editor on permanent rotation.

Google Web Designer Yes, Google also provides tools for web designers. However, Google Web Designer works more like Adobe Dreamweaver.

It is not a pure HTML editor, but a combined WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) and text editor. You can work with both interfaces, the graphical interface, and the code-view. Google Web Designer is supposed to generate correct HTML5 and CSS3 code from the graphical interface. Whether it does so correctly, will be determined by an extensive test.

Stay tuned Without thorough testing, there is little to be said about this editor. Even the information on the website of the editor is rather sparse, which may be down to the fact that it is still in its beta phase. However, the concept is interesting. Aptana Studio 3 The Aptana Studio is one of the best known and most versatile development environments there are. It is a powerful tool, which supports the most important coding and markup languages, such as HTML (including HTML5), CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and Ruby. With Git integration, a debugger for Ruby and JavaScript, an inbuilt terminal with the option for extensions, Aptana Studio is equipped for any purpose. Aptana is available as a stand-alone version or as Eclipse plug-in.

The newest web standards are generally supported. What I dislike: a documentation does not seem to be available (anymore) as the link in question leads to another destination. Decided Not to Code? Take a Look at Mobirise If you just ran into this article to find HTML editors that take away the coding part from you, you’ll have found out by now that this is the wrong place. To not lose you leaving completely disappointed I want to advise you to take a look at Mobirise. Mobirise is an installable editor, too.

The difference to the others mentioned here is that it does not let you fiddle with the code. Instead, it completely keeps you away from that. We have written on Mobirise and I strongly encourage you to check it out. Mobirise is available for Windows and macOS and comes fully free of charge. If you need a fully responsive website in the fastest way possible, ditch the code editors and head over to. Conclusion Some of the best HTML editors for Mac OS X are free or available as an evaluation version with no enforced time limit. Sublime Text (the latter) is extremely fast and can be customized without much fiddling.

I use Sublime Text 2 as well. However, Brackets also seems to be very interesting. A test will show how good it actually is.

It is already installed, and I will use it for the next coding session. A review is, therefore, inevitable. Related links:.
