I’ve been using both TextWrangler and vi for the last while, but all these Rails screencasts have got me interested in TextMate. I downloaded the trial version and it looks pretty cool, but I’ll have to do some real work with it before I decide. It’s really quite nice that it opens a new file when you switch back to it (if you don’t have a file open). However, it doesn’t seem to be as responsive when I’m typing fast. I’m not sure why. (By “fast” I mean 120-140wpm.) When editing plaintext like this, the autocompletion of parentheses and quotes without getting in the way is a very nice thing. I can see this one growing on me… :) Anyway, I’ll write more about it later.
