Question

I am fed up with Textmate. It’s great, but it’s old and keeps crashing on me. No development in (what, 3+?) years, etc.

So I’m looking for a viable alternative. However, I don’t want a bloated and slow editor that runs on Java (so NetBeans, Komodo, Eclipse, etc are out), nor something that includes the kitchen Sink (goodbye Coda, I already own Espresso but am extremely disappointed that after so long the new version doesn’t include variable autocompletion, seriously Macrabbit!). Bbedit is a little too bare-bones for me.

In summary, as the title says, a Textmate replacement that is modern, stable and still in development. Mainly for PHP development. Does such a beast exist?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Sublime Text 2?

I guess it’s the best alternative for someone who used to use textmate, it has a lot of awesome features, once you get used to it you won’t need to use anything else.
