SubEthaEdit is Now Tabtastic


Quirky, but cool, collaborative text editor SubEthaEdit is out today with version 2.6, which adds everybody's favorite (relatively) new UI item: tabs. Of course the main reason to use SubEthaEdit remains its collaborative features, nonetheless the addition of tabs is definitely a strong secondary reason to consider it over text editors stuck with the older drawer paradigm for multiple documents. Personally, I'd really like to see TextMate follow this trend by divorcing tabs from projects. On a side note, I have to agree with Gruber that ?T should now universally belong to the "New Tab" Command (and not the fonts panel as is the OS X standard respected by SubEthaEdit and other applications).

SubEthaEdit is $35 and a demo is available.

I really don't like tabs. I like to see everything in windows in front of me.

i'd have to agree with this Textmate tabs issue. I've already bought Textmate via macheist, but I can't leave BBEdit behind because of it. Looking at their mailing lists from back to 2005 - people complained about it, but they call it a feature to not open in tabs. Shame really. I know there is work around for Transmit, but it's not very elegant.

I complain about text editors and their handling of tabs all the time. There's not a single text editor on the Mac that really comes close to anything available on Windows and it's been that way for years now.
