RMD: freeware text editing in OSX

Post by Stone »

What's everyone using? Ideally I'd like a coder's editor with syntax highlighting (mostly C, Verilog, VHDL) and line numbering, TextEdit's just not cutting it any more...

TextWrangler is pretty good, and free.

TextMate? It's not free, so fails one of the two criteria, but it really has no competition

No competition?

I've been using BBEdit for the last decade now, and it's still great. Far from free, though.

I use SciTe on windows, I think it is cross platform.
Has syntax highlighting, multiple files (tabs for each file), and loop roll/unroll definitions for most programming languages, including C++, Java, Lua etc.
