Some more code-focused users, though, haven’t looked at it in years. ![]() Last year, I pounced onto Panic’s new Nova, reviewing it positively shortly after release.īBEdit is obviously a Mac-assed Mac app, and for reasons I’ll return to, I came back to it years ago for technical writing-but not for coding. I hung onto TextMate and then the native-but-weird Sublime Text, shifting to Code somewhat reluctantly. This is an issue for those of us who want Mac-assed Mac apps. Since then, cross-platform editors and IDEs like Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs have come to dominate the coding world. That gave TextMate a boost working with other server-side frameworks. Mostly, though, TextMate had Ruby on Rails: David Heinemeier Hansson developed the framework with early versions of the editor, making it almost custom-built for Rails. TextMate offered radically easy ways to create sophisticated new language modules and plugins compared to most editors of the day.
