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:

NAT-Traversal - SubEthaEdit now automatically maps its port so it can be reached from anywhere on the internet.

iChat Invites - Documents and the Connection Browser allow drag and drop of iChat Buddies to invite them. (iChat invites only work on Mac OS X 10.5)

Friendcasting - if you activate Friendcasting you get automatic connections to the friends of your friends. In a typical company/group setup one publicly reachable SubEthaEdit will be enough to act as friend to connect everyone to each other.

The overall look of the Connection Browser has been greatly improved. SSL connections now are default, a non SSL connection is showen via a crossed out lock.

You can drag and drop other people from the Connection Browser into a text field (e.g. iChat) to copy their reachability see:// URL.

Improved C++ mode and function recognition.

Improved the LaTeX mode.

Fixed an issue where the status of a document in the overflow tab menu was not displayed correctly.

Fixed an issue where a simultaneous join and invite to a restricted document did not result in a allowed join.

Fixed an issue where see:// document URLs did not result in a join of the addressed document if there was already a connection.

Fixed an issue with the display of subversion conflicts in the symbol popup.

Fixed an issue with the modes preferences where users could edit read-only information.

Fixed an issue with Bonjour and Back to my Mac where the last found netservice did determine which connections occured.

Fixed an issue where your location in the window did move around and redraw issues occured if others have been writing above you.

Fixed an issue with split views and multiple views where the other windows did move their position in the text if text was changed.

Fixed an issue with "Find All" where a junk of text would be highlighted over and over again if many search results are found.

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.
