If only I could take the best features of TW and put them in ST and remove the stuff I hate.It is always exciting for developers from all over the world whenever they get to showcase their best code editor at computer expos and tech conferences. But I live with it because of ST2's extra good features. Just let it indent to the same tab position I'm already at dangit! TextWrangler doesn't have this problem. And turning the feature off indents stupidly. But of course as I mentioned, since ST2 doesn't have a GUI for preferences or editing color themes or searching for text you have to do all the editing manually.īut I can't get it to work the way I want it and I hate it when I try to do a if, then, else and when I try to do the else or elseif it indents it, then pushes it to the right place, but as soon as I type the check part of the elseif (elseif x = 3 then) it indents back forcing me to have to manually indent it back to the right place. I'm sure that can be disabled somehow, But thus far it hasn't gotten on my nerves enough for me to take the time to find out how to do that.It can be turned off. And while I'm on the topic of sublime text, I must say i find it a bit hard to work with, Not a big fan of how it likes to try to indent my code for me as I'm used to doing that myself.

While i do use notepad++ 96.4% of the time on my pc, which is where i do most programming, I don't think getting that on my mac is worth the 400mb download and all that.

The navigation map on the right side is irreplaceable so much that I have a ASCIIArt website bookmarked for creating headers to find main sections of code like Notch does. (It's nice editing the document right from the results window) But now I am used to it. At first I hated the way it handled find and replace for multiple documents because TW still has the edge there.

Make it so clicking images would show the image instead of the hex data or whatever it is, let me change the color of the sidebar, (I use a dark theme, why can't the sidebar be dark too?) as well as some other stuff. But ST2 wins by a small margin because of the 'project' sidebar I can have. I miss some features from TW, but can't switch back because then I'd miss some features from ST2. I loved TextWrangler until I decided to try out ST2 once and for all. Sublime Text 2 is an UNLIMITED 'trial' in which it's free and won't limit anything at all and only bugs you every hundred file saves or so.
