I've been a vim user for years, but since moving to OSX I've been hearing a lot about TextMate. Since I always encourage others to keep an open mind and learn new things, I decided to give this editor a solid shot.
For the next 30 days, I'll TextMate for all my editing, coding, and general editing needs. I'll keep a tally of pros and cons that I encounter along the way.
| Feature or 'issue' |
Vim |
TextMate |
| Snippets |
I'm told there's a plugin called SnipMate, haven't tried it yet though |
Killer feature, highly customizable and flexible (any scripting language you want.) |
| Stability |
rock solid |
Crashes frequently. Not every 5m or anything, but about once or twice a day. *Seems to be related to a bug in the help search menu. You can avoid crashing by not launching commands through the help search. |
