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:

Encountered unexpected behaviour of the RegEx search and replace due to the "find longest match" option. Starting with 3.0 this option causes only the longest match(es) to be returned. We changed the naming of this option to "Only longest match" and turn it off by default to clarify things.
Merged the "Capture groups" and "Don't capture groups" as well as "Line context" and "Negate single line" options to simplify user interaction and mirror changes in OgreKit and Oniguruma.
Increased performance on large documents on Leopard.
Fixed a crash that happened sometimes when saving after a prior saving dialog for that document had been canceled.
Fixed a crash that occured without side effects on quit when the quit started when the app wasn't active. (e.g. via the app switcher, dock or on shutdown)
Fixed a crash which happened when generating a document URL and the machine had no known name.
Fixed a crash that occured if you closed a document while a long search and replace operation was running.
Fixed a crash that happend when the encoding list was changed after tabs have been reordered and closed.
Fixed a performance issue with autosave that caused SubEthaEdit to hesitate on older G4 machines on a regular basis.
Fixed an issue where line numbering was displayed wrongly on Leopard when scrolling slowly.
Fixed an issue where printing produced unreadable very tightly packed lines if the "indent wrapped lines" option was turned on for the current mode.
Fixed an issue where the encoding setting of the mode was ignored and windows-latin-2 was recognized. The mode encoding setting is now used again if the encoding detector is clueless.
Fixed an issue with the generated document URL: now when you have a valid IPv6 address it also generates correct URLs, e.g. see://[::1]:6943
Fixed an issue where link local IPv6 addresses didn't work in the Connections Browser, e.g. see://[fe80::216:cbff:fe89:706e%25en1]:6942/
Fixed an issue where the document scope popup in the find dialog initially showed both entries checked
Fixed an issue where the Javascript mode didn't recognize regular expressions correctly.
Fixed an issue where the Latex mode didn't recognize symbols.
Fixed an issue with the C++ mode where inline member functions weren't recognized.
Fixed an issue where bracket matching in PHP-HTML didn't recognize comments and strings. Now bracket matching works correctly even when in strings where PHP is embedded.

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.
