I use TextMate. 99% of the time I use it, I’m using it simply to post to my (WordPress) blog. I paid for it out of my own pocket, and it was worth every cent.

Virgil and Etherealmind,

It seems like I looked at TextWrangler once, but I’ll go back and look again.

Makea,

I used to use SubEthaEdit but, like you, I suspected I would never use the live collaboration features.

Etherealmind,

I also use OmniOutliner Pro for various other tasks. I hadn’t heard of xPad, so I may have to try that.

All,

It looks like TextMate also has the ability to edit directly from FTP/SFTP sites. I was able to set it as the default editor for both Interarchy and Cyberduck.

I use TextWrangler for Web sites because to directly edit from SFTP/FTP points.

I use xPAD for Cisco or network CLI work, because if automatically saves, tracks dozens of open documents and is very quick and clean. Best of all, its free http://getxpad.com

I also use OmniOutliner when thinking and researching material, but that might be me.

Hope this helps.

I’m a subethaedit man. However I never use the live collaboration feature.

If I had to do it again I’d go for textmate.

I use TextWrangler. It’s the slimmed down version of BBEdit – which is probably TextMate’s biggest competition.

I like the powerful regex functionality among other features.
