I'm a Hydra/SubEthaEdit fan myself but am always interested in something that can make my work a bit easier. I grabbed a copy of Smultron and immediately liked it. I like the look, I like the layout, I like the feature set, I like everything except...

I work on a number of reports that are in the largeish realm of size. Nothing like 100's of MB, but some that are, say, 5 MB in size. Loading such files is somewhat sluggish as is navigating such files. These reports aren't in any particular format (C, PHP, Java, etc), just plain text, so I'm already not syntax highlighting. I turned off line numbering to no avail.

Essentially, it is this one thing that is keeping me from switching to Smultron from SEE and why I'm giving a 4 instead of a 5. I look forward to seeing future revisions of this software and will be keeping an eye on it.

For the record, I have a TiBook 800 with 1 GB RAM. Speed and memory shouldn't be an issue (particularly since SEE hasn't a problem with these files).

Regards,

Lynn
