Well, after the recommendation of Cyril Kowaliski of Tech Report fame, I've finally stopped using Notepad2 for all of my text editing and programming. I've completely fallen for [url=]SublimeText[/url] I love that it works on Windows, Linux and Mac (In that order). But what I love even more then that is that it has a Linux style [url=http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control]package control manager[/url] to install plugins on the fly!

I've downloaded a few already that I find indispensable!

That does look interesting. I'm using TextMangler on Mac at the moment and TextPad on Windows, I really love TextMangler and TextPad is pretty similar but it would be nice to have the same editor on both platforms, plus I'm seriously considering moving to Linux for work next year rather than buying another Mac.

Thanks for sharing.

I was using many applications, but I use SublimeText for half year and it's best.

Turns out the guy at the desk next to me is using it!

Bah. You're missing out on the one true editor.
Vim.

I have to use Vi on a lot of the boxen my work ends up residing on. Never liked it.

Is it also available in those normal colours? I rather stick with my Notepad++.

I'm sure you can invert the colours if you want, that's pretty basic editor functionality.

Hmm, tha looks really promising, I’ll give it a go! Thanks

As much as I find it weird to have to pay for a text editor, I'm willing to give this one a shot - nicely found Dygear! I'm missing a pure VIM-like mode and the Clang analyzer also doesn't work for me (known issue, I just don't feel like messing with the workaround right now).
Apart from that it looks very good and I certainly have a couple of projects I can test-drive it on

I think the stupid scrollview is the worst idea ever.

I'll stick with Coda 2 on Mac.. and just not do any work in Windows ever :P (I can use VM's to test for compatibility in various browsers )

Also: Nano > all for terminal text editors. There's a certain.. usefulness to a text editor that lets you just.. edit text, rather than needing 300 key combos to insert a word :P

@Dustin I like Nano when I'm SSH'ing into something and I need to change a text file, like a config file really quickly, but other then that, I would use this ... simply awesome that I can SSH into my computer using my text editor and edit a file on my platform without much of a headache. Plus I like it's syntax highlighting, it reminds me of github's color scheme.

@TAA, I never really got the hang of VIM, I've always perfered nano. *Hides*

@MadCatX, you don't _have_ to pay for it, you can try it out for as long as you want. I've downloaded it and I've not bought it yet because I don't have the money yet. And it very gently nags you every now and again that you should pay for it if you use it that much. I really like that it does that too, let's you use it for free, but reminds you that it's not really free software. I'm quite happy to pay for it once I have the funds, respect for doing that.

@thisnameistaken, that's funny that the guy next to you was using it as well and you had no idea! Ask him if he uses any plugins that he finds useful.

@EVERYONE

If you find plugins that you find useful, please do post them here, I would love to take a look at them.
