Product Description:

TextMate is a versatile plain text editor with a unique and innovative feature set which caused it to win an Apple Design Award for Best Mac OS X Developer Tool in August 2006.

A rapidly growing community have created bundles for more than a hundred different “modes� including support for all major programming languages, writing prose in structured formats such as LaTeX, Markdown, Textile, etc., blogging, running SQL queries, writing screen plays, doing your budget, and much much more.

Some of the features include:

  • collapsable text blocks — fold away the code you don’t want to see
  • recordable macros — you don’t have to write a script to automate tedious work
  • a CSS-inspired selector system which allows preferences and more to be applied to subsets of your document — you want return to do something different inside comments? or maybe you want spell checking enabled for your strings in C++, both can be done in seconds.
  • snippets with tab-able placeholders and live transformations on the text you enter
  • column operations — if you align your code nicely TextMate will reward you with eased editing!
  • superb shell integration — don’t worry if you are not familiar with bash, TextMate is here to teach you about all the wonders of the OS X UNIX underpinnings!

There is a gallery of screencasts showcasing more features at http://macromates.com/screencasts

What's new in this version:

  • support for multi-stroke key bindings
  • drag commands can target files without extension by use of wildcards
  • when searching through bundle items (⌃⌘T) the list show the tab trigger or key equivalent to help you remember the shortcut
  • new action to show the (generated) raw HTML source for commands with HTML output

…more release notes included with the application.

Someone below says not as good as BBEdit, yet, and that might be true. This is still only version one but I have to say for web development I've found it great and perhaps even more functional/user friendly than BBEdit; I've been a longtime advocate of that app (BBE), in fact it was quite a wrench at first (when I realised how smooth TM was for HTML/CSS/PHP), I felt I was betraying the latter!

TM was has never crashed once, in over two years of using it.

Textmate has nice features but now, suddenly, I'm getting bombs on text files.
