TextMate Logo

I know there are periods where I change my favorite text editor as often as most people change their underwear, but still. I like their take on tabbed editing (including what happens when you give their command-line script a list of files). There are a gazillion language-specific packages available (scripts, syntax, etc.), and you can slurp up a whole mess of them from a single svn repository. Block (i.e., rectangular) editing that’s easy to use and doesn’t require a mouse. Folding; enough said.

I was convinced I needed to find this editor and try it out simply by watching the Ruby on Rails 15-minute intro, so you might watch that to see TextMate in action.
