TextMate for Windows?
July 6th, 2007
By now, everyone I know is aware that I plan on getting a Mac. I’m sure I’ve bored my poor wife to tears over the subject.
Well, until that day arrives I’ll have to endure using my PC. There is, however, something that may make the situation a bit more bearable. I’ve just learned of a new text editor for Windows that mimics TextMate for the Mac. Its called E -TextEditor (or simply ‘E’) and it looks great. Not only does it work like TextMate, but it supports the bundles as well. In fact, when you try to view the documentation for E it redirects you to the TextMate site.
I’m going to give this software a spin since they offer a free trial. If it turns out to be all that they say it is, its only $34.95 to purchase a license. If there is anyone out there wishing they had an advanced text editor for Windows with all of the bells and whistles of TextMate, this may be what you’re looking for.

Your really getting excited about this Mac aren’t you? Looks like a neat little application.

Yeah, I’ve been wanting one for a long time now. The good thing is, they keep getting better and better with each iteration so my patience will be rewarded.
Regarding E, I’m going to start putting it through its paces this weekend. Hopefully it will be an inexpensive replacement for Dreamweaver, which I use only use in code view anyhow.

That’s cool that you have found something to hold you over until you get your Mac. TextMate is an awesome tool.
Any timeline on when you will be getting your Mac?

I’m hoping to get one in the next few months. Although with the way my wife’s computer has been lately, she may get one before I do.

Sounds Good. I’m gonna take a look at that too.
