Francois Joseph de Kermadec no only has a better name than I do, he is also a much braver man. How else to explain
his willingness to pen a review pitting BBEdit vs. Textmate. Furthermore, he does the impossible and says that neither of them wins the
battle!Reply in the Mail.app with a specific quote.

Great post and review, thanks! I'm a TextWrangler user but used to use BBEdit a lot "back in the day". ;-)

I can't seem to find a great app that really suits me.
For the time behing I use Smultron.

I agree with you XIV, Smultron is really great. Out of the 2 in the article TextMate wins hands down. Any application that isn't written in Cocoa on the Mac these days really shows its age. BBEdit and TextWrangler both feel so archaic.

All I can say is that I moved to TextMate 6 months or so ago and never looked back (after using BBEdit for 5+ years). TM is one of the best tools I've ever used. Occasionally I use BB or TextWranger on other Macs and they're still great but nothing compared to TextMate.

I would love to see a Vi(m) plugin and keymappings for either editor. Yes, I know my desire for this may be a sign of mental illness :D The first of these two applications ( or TextWrangler ) that has this will immediately become my favorite!

I switched from TacoHTML to TextWrangler. The only thing I miss from the days I used BBEdit is sorting lines. And the only thing I use Taco for now is debugging HTML. (Using Taco's "Order tags" option. It lets me tab the HTML so I can see where a closing DIV or TABLE tag are missing.)
TextWrangler FTW.
