ForgEdit is very nice and clean, but is missing a few useful features that are common in a programming editors and that I miss, including:
* No indication of matching parenthesis
* No way to select text in a logical block (e.g. between curly braces)
* No menu of function names
Similarly, the find/replace dialog box is nice and clean but could use:
* hold option key to replace "in selection" (at least there is a menu for this!)
* uses a menu to enable regular expressions (clumsier than a checkbox)
A great start and well worth checking out.

I've played with this for 5 minutes, and already think this is exceptionally well-designed. If I had seen this before I purchased Textmate, I probably would not have bought it.
OS X really needs a good FREE Cocoa-based editor. Smultron so far is the only one I am aware of that currently qualifies. I don't know why, but I just don't like how it works. This, however, I took an instant liking to. The tabs, the project drawer, the easy customizations, all made working with it completely intuitive. I didn't have to read any directions.
A few things that would improve it (I apologize if these are present and I haven't yet found them):
1. Ability to turn off text anti-aliasing.
2. Ability to fine-tune the color scheme in the syntax highlighting. I like a dark blue or black background, and some things are hard to see in the default color scheme.
3. A command-line tool to invoke the binary.
4. Programability, so I can code stuff like extra commands to open an iTerm session in the directory corresponding to the file displayed in the frontmost tab, etc.
Overall, I am extremely impressed.
Please keep up the good work, and please keep it free.

Reproducibly crashes for me when using Add Bookmark:current window.
I will be watching the development of this app, but currently it is inferior to the (also free) TextWrangler from BareBones.
