HTML/CSS editor for Mac OS X

marios · 2006-06-15 22:34:48

I have purchased skedit as well, it does the live editing that TM currently does not support.
But TM has a Ton of more features, that need to be unlocked, plus all the ones that vifort mentions above.

Two weeks ago I decided that TM definitely would deserve a Bundle with it’s own Language Grammar, so I made one.
You can download it here<a href=“http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=16884”>A textpattern bundle for TextMate beta version</a> and help evaluating it a bit , since I really liked to improve it to do even more.

[I am no Mac OS user so i do not really know anything about these editors … though sounds great what you did marios.]

Anybody out there who can put all these links together and write a short article for TXP Mag on Mac Editors?

@alexandra, I’ll see what I can come up with, although that could take some time, since I am putting together the next version of the Bundle, which fixes all the HTML problems (already done, but I’d like to spice it up with some extra stuff)

I’m going to switch to Mac really soon: my MacBook is on its way :D So now I finally can try all the programs you’re recommending. On Windows, TopStyle Pro is one of the best editors I think. On Mac…I hope I can give my favorite very soon…

I’ve thought of making the switch, then I hear all the horror stories with the new Intel Macs.

Would be nice to combine my WinXP and Debian machines into one.

What a terrible marriage, indeed.

Networking may be and file-sharing through a Lynksys NAS setup(NSLU2) with a couple of harddisks.
Those run on Linux, and can be done whatever you can think of . There’s lots of trirdparty Firmware out there
I still have to take a closer look at how I can setup those. (Already purchased two of them for 78 Euro each)

Try to find all the remaining G4 stock as soon as you can, those are the best ones, little heat, more stable.
Don’t forget, you can easily open a Mac mini and replace the memory module, hard-drive, whatever you want, without breaking the warranty.

This has some disadvantage for Software (If you need advanced graphic apps), but you can not always have everything.
For a testing Server (Or even a Production Server) it should be perfect.

Yeah, a G4 would make a nice LAMP development machine. I was looking at a Mac mini to place it near the entertainment system to hold the mp3’s, images and videos.

BTW, I was just testing this little neat Feed parser plugin, that uses Simple-pie, take a look at what <a href=“http://www.consking.com/delyriumlab/”>Mac-Mod</a> has to offer.

There’s others as well, but I couldn’t find an Atom feed that works well.

What horror stories? I’ve had a macbook for about 2 months now. It runs hot, but I haven’t had any technical problems…

I think, that the major problems, that might occur from this Intel/apple joint venture are more security related, since Intel-ships haven’t been designed for OS-X operating systems from the ground up. (That’s how I understood this)

May be that could lead to the same Situation as it is currently with Windows of the kind: patch here, hotfix there…
The Tiger OS is already quite bloated and on my MAC-mini I have allready ~700.000 files.

I’m not able to understand all that anyway, I just don’t like the Idea of an Intel-based Mac.
Unfortunately, there is nothing much that you can do about it, since Software Companies have to follow this trend,
and then you might be out of luck with your G4 Processor later.

May be it was a necessary Step to compete with Microsoft?
Who knows.
I’ll try to find a G4 at least ASAP, as a spare one.

The chip the OS runs on really shouldn’t have any impact on it’s security. OpenBSD is not any less secure on Intel then it is on PPC, Alpha SPARC, MIPS. Actually I don’t think it runs on MIPS so nevermind.

What might happen is perhaps some stability issues as CISC vs RISC specific bugs get sorted out, but remember that a lot of OS X comes from Next Step which always ran on intel. In fact the whole universal binary things is a Next Step originally from Next Step.

MacBooks are of course rev 1 designs so proceed with caution. I personally see no point in replacing my powerbook until at least Photoshop runs natively on Intel and not under Rosetta.

The appeal of Apple, to me, was the RISC architecture. It used less resources and ran cooler, so laptop battery life was longer and the damn thing didn’t burn your private parts.

I still haven’t figured it out, as to why the move, but I think it was a dumb one. With equal hardware, then it just comes down to the software. The appeal of OS/X is the more polished feel of it but we’re getting real close with current Linux distros.

Time will tell, but the mystic of Apple has faded somewhat now.

My Wife’s Centrino based dell runs way longer then my G4 powerbook and produces much less heat. So I think intel just outright beat PowerPC on that.

Honestly in a laptop I love the fact that I never have to wait for OSX to wake up like I do with XP and Linux. On a desktop, the minute I can run Photoshop and Illustrator on Linux or BSD (preferably BSD), I’m there. OSX basically gives me *nix with access to these commercial packages.

I recently stumbled over some UBUNTU Sites, wiki resources, etc.. I first have been told about it from a friend of mine, who works at an Internet Cafe and is a Linux Freak. It looked pretty interesting, unfortunately I am completely alien to all this, but those resources could prove useful maybe for my Linksys NAS Devices. I’ll go and ask him, if he’s interested.

@hakjoon, excellent explanation, thanks for the Software tip also.

Is it still right to assume, that OS-X (Tiger) will remain the safest Dektop OS in the world, even with that Intel-marriage ?

That’s it’s biggest selling point, access to the big boy apps.

I haven’t paid for software in many years, unless you count the Microsoft tax on my laptop. So running Photoshop, Quicken or any other fill-in-the-blank app doesn’t much matter to me, I get by just fine with free and open source software.

There was a time when Linux looked horrible and to get something to work required incantations. Today, my Debian Sid workstation looks really good and every bit of hardware is recognized. I’m playing with Enlightenment DR17 and I can make it look and feel very close to OS/X.

I’m in no way indicative of today’s general population, but tomorrow’s users are starting way ahead of the curve today. If at 12, you are handed a computer with broadband access, the only thing you need to buy at a computer store would be CD-R’s ;)
