oh so you did. just so you All know I switched to mac mainly for it's more awesome power to code, because I got sick of coding on windows, and two senior uni lecturers couldn't stop advocating macs so once my windows laptop was stollen  I bought a mac.

the real reason I bought a mac is so no one would want to steal it:P

---

Having the same situation here with uni lecturers. Only thing that puts me off Macs is the price. Even with a student discount, they're still much higher than that of a similar Windows system. I think I may just get a Windows netbook and dualboot it with Ubuntu, so I can still have the "awesome power to code".

My university uses Smultron text editor on Macs, which, without tabs, is a big pain. Apparently it does have tabs. Maybe they're using an old version or I have tabs disabled.

I mainly use PSPad. It's lightweight and I've used it for a while so I'm used to the syntax highlighting and the ui.

Notepad++. Simple, has all programming languages i need and is easy to use.

VS and visual web developer express do this!

---

Doesn't VS implicitly use IIS for ASP?

I used to use Notepad++, but I've recently switched to e. Yes, e.

It's quite fast, it has a minimalist interface and yet has amazing powers, even more so when you start using the included bundles. I'm lovin' it!

Wait wat..... no sence in answering an already banned user, but meh....
DW = Cost + less features + much more memory usage. Actually more used between html noobs or ppl who doesn't trust in free software.

Hmm I will have to have a look at that tomorrow... Does it do php auto-complete? For most of the functions and stuff..? Or is it just for stuff like HTML?

Yeah, I code mostly in php, never used the auto-complete feature before, but you prompted me to search about. Typing in start of function brings up suggested functions, then when you are doing parameters it brings up the lay out...

Quite useful actually, I can never remember the order of certain php functions

---

OMG, I never though that function could work that well, I mean... I've been using notepad++ for some quite time now (couple of years), and never experimented with the autocompletion feature... Thx xD

Neither had I until Nana made me look for it. Had it on ever since

UltraEdit \o/

A friend showed it years ago, haven't looked at much editors since.

I've been using UltraEdit/UEStudio for years, beats every other text editor I've come across, feature-wise.
I wonder why everyone uses text editors for coding.. wouldn't want to do any programming without all the features a good IDE like Netbeans or Eclipse offers.
So for me: Netbeans for coding, UltraEdit for everything else.

I use Notepad++ and Komodo Edit on Mac. When I get paid, I'm buying Coda .
