#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.
Is anyone else moving from #textmate to #zed?
Iβd love to share our findings, improvements, tweaks with each other
E.g., snippets are there, command b doesnβt always hide/show the left pane, etc
Iβd 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 canβt 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).

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.
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 βClub Mateβ.
