#TextMate, no development for over five years
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 “Club 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 ...
