Regular readers know that I’ve been doing a one month trial of to decide if I switch. I’ve also briefly looked a few alternative editors including, a few VI variants, and . For Python use I honestly think the only real choices are BBEdit, TextMate and Komodo. Sublime Text 2 is quite nice. Amazingly fast. But most of my complaints about TextMate it shares and it has a very unfinished feel. The preference menu for example just brings up a text file and you have to code your preferences. And no, there really isn’t much of a manual explaining what to put there. I’ll leave Komodo alone for now as it’s pretty heavy — more a competitor to Eclipse or Xcode. So really the battle is just between BBEdit and TextMate.
