Comment and replies on skEdit:
skEdit is by far the best text editor out there. I've tried BBedit, TextMate, Dreamweaver, nothing compares to skEdit. One of my favourite features is snippets which lets you add markup to selected text. This is fantastic with list items or paragraphs, such a time saver. I'm really looking forward to 3.7 which is going to include a lot of new features.
Thanks for all your hard work Sean, best.app.ever.
I use TextMate everyday and it is definately the superior editor. However, I still miss the code hinting and ease of use of skEdit. If this is what you value most in an editor, sEdit is for you. If you want power and less hand-holding, go with TextMate.
I'm a big fan of skEdit, as you can see from this blog post: http://www.clearwired.com/loop/archives/23-skEdit,-The-Mostly-Perfect-Text-Editor.html
I really like skEdit as well and I have been using it for a while now. I've been getting frustrated with it lately though because of a lot of problems, most notably incorrect code highlighting, CSS auto-complete sometimes fails, and updating of files on a remote server (when editing them directly) does not work even though it appears that it does. I was using it on my computer at work recently for a couple of projects, which runs on 10.3.9, so I don't know if that has anything to do with all this.
With that said, I'm looking forward to the next version!!
I love his piece of software because it has Movable Type code hinting.
skEdit is the best value on the market today in terms of text editors. I love how it's simple and unintrusive, but powerful. skEdit 4.0 improves on an already successful formula, and at $35 it's a steal.
The only editor that compares is Coda, IMO. Coda's a bit more polished and complete, but more than twice the price. For that reason, skEdit is still my mainstay. I recommend it to any web developer.




This is a great HTML Editor. I agree it isn't as refined as TextMate but the unique features still make it the tool I use everyday. Not only does it have a built-in preview but you can easily have it work with your webserver. It will even automatically update an open web page you're previewing while you're editing it's linked CSS file. I also find it's code completion feature rather handy and well implmented.
