Sublime Text 2

I've been using Sublime Text 2 betas for what seems like forever. Even the early betas were rock solid. I use Sublime Text on Windows (I really do deserve your pity) and BBEdit on Mac. I still prefer BBEdit but it's a close race.1 If Textmate and Quicksilver had a love child that was raised by VIM, it would be Sublime Text 2.

Don't be naïve though. It's a serious tool. Want to change the preferences? Here, edit this text file. Hardcore.

  1. BBEdit is just more Mac-like and predictable. Sublime Text is magical, if you know what the magic words are.
