List of macOS text editors and code editors [closed]

Answer 1

Definitely BBEdit. I code, and BBEdit is what I use to code.

Answer 2

I've been using BBEdit for years. It's rock-solid, fast, and integrates into my Xcode workflow decently well. (I'm not sure anything integrates into Xcode as well as the built-in editor, but who has time to wait for the built-in editor?)

For small team projects which don't use a source control system, or for single user editing on multiple machines, SubEthaEdit comes highly recommended.

Answer 3

Fraise is a nice free option. It has some rough edges, but you can't beat the price. I believe it's a fork or successor of Smultron.

Answer 4

• Eclipse and its variants.
• Netbeans

Answer 5

I prefer an old-school editing setup. I use command-line vim embedded in a GNU Screen "window" inside of iTerm.

This may not integrate well with XCode, but I think it works great for developing and using command-line programs. If you spend any significant time working in a terminal, GNU Screen is worth the 30 minutes it takes to master the basic terminal multiplexing concepts.

Answer 6

MacVim and SubEthaEdit are two nice options
