My answer to What is the best Mac OS X text editor for a web developer? And what makes it great? on Quora
It’s still TextMate for me. It gets the basics right—syntax highlighting, sensible indentation, a good project pane (I use “mate ~/Development/my-project” at the terminal to open TextMate with my entire folder hierarchy), solid extensions and good unix integration (Filter selection through command).
It’s not perfect, but it’s the best I’ve found.
