While I ventured into my Ruby on Rails experience, I found this great text editor called Textmate that is recommended by the Rails team for Mac users. Unfortunately there isn’t a version for Windows so you’ll have to convert to Mac if you want it.

Personally I’ve never really been a big fan of text editors for any serious work and this has mainly been because they have never had much functionality up until now. Textmate is a very cool editor having the ability to provide code structure, highlighting, code block collapsing and so much more.

You can code HTML, Applescript, Javascript, Ruby, XML and more. This is one texteditor that is full of surprises with plenty of options for even the most hardcore coding junkie.

Once you start using it you’ll find it very addictive thinking hey, I can use Textmate to code this, and I can use textmate to code that. So crunch time… how much is it? Well it only costs around AUS$70 which isn’t alot for such an extensive and well designed texteditor that is more than capable of handling all your coding duties and more. If your not sure you’ll like it, you can download the trial version for a limited time before you decide to hand over any cash.
