Product Description:

SubEthaEdit is a collaborative distributed text editor, combining the simplicity of TextEdit and the power of Rendezvous. It allows to share documents on a local network (with Rendezvous) or on the internet. Every participating user can type simultaneously and see what others are typing. You can even follow others users to see what they are up to.
SubEthaEdit features true simultaneous editing for multiple users. Text changes are highlighted in a different color for each user, allowing easy identification of your coeditors' changes. The scrollbar indicators give you a quick overview where others are working in the document.
In addition to its rich networking capablities, SubEthaEdit does everything you'd expect from an advanced text editor. Encodings and line endings are handled seamlessly. Programmers benefit from customizable syntax coloring and function pop-up, bracket matching, indenting and regular expression find and replace.

What's new in this version:

Implemented a partial work-around for an issue of Apple's mDNSResponder in conjunction with Airport Base Stations that causes excessive logging. If it still happens, turning automatic port mapping off and on again resolves the issue.
Fixed an issue where CJK font fallbacks could cause the rest of the document to be displayed in a wrong font.
Fixed an issue that caused the Apple Scripts of the Latex Mode not to be included correctly.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

This is listed at VT as freeware, but upon installation we're told it's a 30 day trial. This software costs 29 euro. That's $46 American.

I am very satisfied with SEE. It is a fast & lightweight tool for our textual collaboration. Just see the rating: just five stars.

But even beyond that: I reported a strange crash of SEE (which happens very rarely to me) just a few days ago - it was one the these "unreproducible" issues ;-) I've received a message from the developer the same day and they managed it to fix this crash in no time!

That's how it should be. Guys, I appreciate your work!

Subethaedit was my favorite OS X text editor (although I regularly use vim). I never used the collaborative feature, I just used SEE as a standard GUI editor, but when it became payware, I had to decide if it was really worth it.

I decided to pay for an OS X text editor, even though I am happy with vim. However, the feature sets I found worth paying for were in TextMate, so I bought that one instead. You should take a look at that before making a final decision.

Older versions of SEE are also available for free for non-commerical users.
