This is a much better code editor to look at if you still think $70 is too much to pay for an editor. Considering that one of the greatest Notepad++alternatives costs $70, you should feel certain that we Visual Studio Code is Microsoft’s free text editor that is actually available on Linux & Mac devices. We all know that Notepad++ is the best tool for programmers or coders. But, Fortunately Notepad++ is not available for the Mac users, It is only available for Windows users. In simple words, we say it is a very interactive or helpful Notepad for programmers.
I searched for this and found question about but they were all for Windows. As you have no doubt guessed, I am trying to find out if there are any text/code editors for the Mac besides what I know of. I'll edit my post to include editors listed. Free. and.
and closer to the original. GPL. Commercial. Articles related to the subject. Thank you everybody that has added suggestions, if I miss your suggestion then I'm sorry, I'm sure you can find me on Twitter or via Google.
If you ever plan on making a serious effort at learning Emacs, immediately forget about Aquamacs. It tries to twist and bend Emacs into something it's not (a super-native OS X app).
That might sound well and all, but once you realize that it completely breaks nearly every standard keybinding and behavior of Emacs, you begin to wonder why you aren't just using TextEdit or TextMate. Carbon Emacs is a good Emacs application for OS X. It is as close as you'll get to GNU Emacs without compiling for yourself. It fits in well enough with the operating system, but at the same time, is the wonderful Emacs we all know and love.

Currently it requires Leopard with the latest release, but most people have upgraded by now anyway. You can fetch it. Alternatively, if you want to use Vim on OS X, I've heard good things about.
Beyond those, there are the obvious TextEdit, TextMate, etc line of editors. They work for some people, but most 'advanced' users I know (myself included) hate touching them with anything shorter than a 15ft pole. There's a new kid on the block -. I used it for a whole year. Its not free but offers an individual license of 49$ for a year, free for Open Source Developers. Speedy for an IDE - Its based on Java so looks somewhat like Eclipse/Netbeans but smokes them to dust in terms of speed (not as fast as Coda/Textmate as this is an IDE). Keyboard shortcuts galore - I seldom touched the mouse while developing using PHPStorm (that's what I didn't like about Coda).
Subversion support built-in - Didn't need to touch Versions or any other SVN client on Mac. Supports snippets, templates - zen-coding is supported as well. Supports projects, though in separate windows. File search, code search. code completion, supports PHPDoc code completion too. BBEdit makes all other editors look like Notepad.
It handles gigantic files with ease; most text editors (TextMate especially) slow down to a dead crawl or just crash when presented with a large file. The regexp and multiple-file Find dialogs beat anything else for usability. The clippings system works like magic, and has selection, indentation, placeholder, and insertion point tags, it's not just dumb text. BBEdit is heavily AppleScriptable. Everything can be scripted. In 9.0, BBEdit has code completion, projects, and a ton of other improvements. I primarily use it for HTML, CSS, JS, and Python, where it's extremely strong.
Some more obscure languages are not as well-supported in it, but for most purposes it's fantastic. The only devs I know who like TextMate are Ruby fans. I really do not get the appeal, it's marginally better than TextWrangler (BBEdit's free little brother), but if you're spending money, you may as well buy the better tool for a few dollars more.
jEdit does have the virtue of being cross-platform. It's not nearly as good as BBEdit, but it's a competent programmer's editor. If you're ever faced with a Windows or Linux system, it's handy to have one tool you know that works.
Vim is fine if you have to work over ssh and the remote system or your computer can't do X11. I used to love Vim for the ease of editing large files and doing repeated commands. But these days, it's a no-vote for me, with the annoyance of the non-standard search & replace (using (foo) groups instead of (foo), etc.), painfully bad multi-document handling, lack of a project/disk browser view, lack of AppleScript, and bizarre mouse handling in the GVim version.

TextMate not for 'advanced programmers'. That does not make sense, TextMate contains everything an 'advanced programmer' would want. It allows them to define a bundle that allows them to quickly set up the way they want their source code formatted, or one that follows the project guidelines, quick easy access to create entire structures and classes based on typing part of a construct and hitting tab. TextMate is my tool of choice, it is fast, lightweight and yet contains all of the features I would want in a tool to program with. While it is not tightly integrated in Xcode, that is not a problem for me as I don't write software for Mac OS X. I write software for FreeBSD.
About Notepad is a free (as in 'free speech' and also as in 'free beer') source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by License. Based on the powerful editing component, Notepad is written in C and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.
You're encouraged to into your native language if there's not already a translation present in the. I hope you enjoy Notepad as much as I enjoy coding it.
