Soooo I don't know if this has already been mentioned in this thread but TextMate is juuussttt ever so slightly the most amazing editor that has ever existed.

I seem to be slightly addicted to enhancing it at the moment. It has the extensibility of vim but it's not shell based! And what is more the extensibility isn't too scary. Sure there's a bit to learn but mostly you can use whatever scripting language you like. And you can create macros which are actually incredibly cool.

I just created this macro that selects the current paragraph (a paragraph being defined as the lines between two blank lines) using a couple of regexs (the regex engine supports lookaheads and lookbehinds that make this possible) and now I press Apple+P and a select those lines.

I've also got macros for "new blank line above" and "new blank line below" just like o and O in vim. Only it's not vim - I can still use the mouse, I don't have to press esc incessantly and the caret isn't endlessly one character off the position I want it to be in. The only thing missing is intelli-sense style code competition which Zend Studio did so very well.

I really want a mac to try out for a while - but I already have a kickass PC, and trying to justify the cost of a mac too to the missus would never pass ;)

I think Kieran posted something in here once about the e-Text editor. It is a textmate port to Windows. It was OK. I am still spoiled by Eclipse though, so getting used to it was just not interesting enough to me.

Yeah, e is nice. Worth buying, even. I still suffered from mac-lust while using it though....

That being said, fr the last couple of months my mac-lust has been waning due to Ubuntu on my Thinkpad. Gutsy is down-right sexy, and I do love me that ****\b\b\b\b nipple.

Also, I hate Hate HATE trackpads. Hate.

On Ubuntu I've been pleasantly surprised by gEdit. It's far more decent that I ever thought it would be! Still, it's not textmate. And my next laptop will almost definitely be a mac, I'm just not in so much of a hurry now ;-)

I've been looking at e and it seems to be as good. Does it support bundle development including macros? Because if it did it would probably be slightly better. Damn.
