Product Description:

Smultron is a free text editor for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 which is both easy to use and powerful. It is designed to neither confuse newcomers nor disappoint advanced users. It should work perfectly for a whole variety of needs - like web programming, script editing, making a to do list and so on.
Smultron has all open documents in a list with beautiful Quick Look icons to your left so you can easily switch between many documents - you can also choose to display them as tabs if you prefer it.
It is easy to program with Smultron as it colours the content in different colours depending on what the code does. You also have many ways to search for words and line numbers to help finding the code you are looking for. You can also split the window in two to display two parts of the same document or to compare two different documents side by side.
You can also preview HTML-files directly in Smultron and save snippets of text and insert them simply with a shortcut. And if you don't want to be disturbed by other applications or the desktop you can let Smultron cover the whole screen to let you concentrate on your work.
For the more advanced users Smultron can find all those system files that are normally hidden and it has authenticated open and saves for them. Smultron can also use regular expressions and it can run commands and scripts.
For all international users there is full support for all encodings and it is translated into many languages.

Was just starting to get used to it and went to the developer's website for an update and…he's no longer developing it.

With a type expander like Typinator (much less buggy than TextExpander), Smultron competes with BBEdit. Advantage - your sniplets are accessible in all your other text editing applications (including browsers).

Brilliant, simple, a rest for weary eyes. Light footprint.

I own BBEdit but plan to do a lot of my work in Smultron going forward.

Great split screen, tab and preview functions.

This is not freeware but donationware. Donate and enjoy software without annoying installation and licensing routines.

This is as good a programmer's editor as there is out there, free or not. I'm a heavy vi/vim user, and this is the only other editor that I use for code.

(I wish gvim and smultron could be merged together somehow. But I'm not complaining, this is a great tool as is.)
