I am down the rabbit hole of melding #golang and #cuelang with a dash of #peg and a twist of #TextMate tmLanguage.json (but using RE2 not Oniguruma for reasons)

#MailMate, #TextMate, #GitX, #Go (1.20, not any younger) just work using a current version mostly. That makes it a lot easier to get work environment running. Seems the way to go. Only need to fix broken keybindings on #MacPass.

@kreideland ich benutze #Textmate unter MacOS

Is anyone else moving from #textmate to #zed?

I’d love to share our findings, improvements, tweaks with each other

E.g., snippets are there, command b doesn’t always hide/show the left pane, etc

I’d love to get all-in on zed, but between a couple decades of texmate muscle memory and zed still being new (and new to me!), I can’t quite make the jump

#zed is really growing on me. Each new update enhances the user experience, making it more enjoyable. However, it still needs a robust git management feature (it's coming...). Meanwhile, I use #lazygit within the integrated terminal, which I open and enlarge when needed. https://zed.dev

TextMate is and has been my go-to text-wrangling tool for a long time.

There are so many useful things I rely on, all built-in.

"Sort and deduplicate"

"Regex search and replace"

"Diff selection with clipboard"

"JSON reformat document"

"HTML Unescape"

rmate

and many more I can't think of right now...

And I just realised it can even function as a basic "notebook" (jupyter style).

Shell -> Execute line and replace with result

If you haven't tried it (and you're on Mac) give it a try, it's free and open source nowadays.

Development has mostly stalled but I don't mind, it's "done" and the stability is comforting.

TextMate: Text editor for macOS

Your #programming language allows nested comments? You are using #codium, #vscode or #TextMate? However your syntax highlighting does not yet recognize nested comments? #sourceCodeSunday

Fear not! It is simple to add.#Oberon

A lot of the main apps I use still work really well and I have then customised and tuned the way I want but they're all teetering on the brink of some brain-dead CEO's get-rich-quick scheme destroying them: #Firefox, #Thunderbird, #VSCode and even #Discord

But the last time I had an app that was absolutely solid and didn't keep needlessly changing was #TextMate back during the glory days of MacOS, pre iOS.

I want to start a club for the few people who still use #TextMate.

It would be called β€œClub Mate”.

Besides using #Intellij #IDEA at work (since 2003), I always use a plain text editor for various programming and "text mangling" tasks. Since Visual Studio Code is a lot below IDEA and too bloated for simple code/text tasks, I am looking for my new additional text tool. #TextMate was nice but is too slow and outdated, I don't like #Sublime for it's usability and colors. Currently I am trying #BBEdit ...
On the left, #VSCode; this app is using ~470 MB of RAM. There's a lot going on in the background here, a web browser engine, a JavaScript engine and server backend. On the right is Visual Basic 6 (#VB6), with a very large project open, taking up 42 MB RAM. Now this isn't even to complain about bloat because VScode performs really well and is very extensible. It's the only editor I've enjoyed using since #TextMate on MacOS;
