"Great, free feature-rich macOS text editor"
What do you like best about Textmate?

It is a really powerful, highly capable text editor for macOS and it's free! If you miss Notepad++ when using macOS, this is an excellent alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Textmate?

Nothing really, it's a very capable app, and it is free. Actually, there is an option under one of the menus to add a license key, but if you choose to go to the shop to buy a license you simply get a page saying "licenses are not available for purchase" which is kind of weird. Maybe there's a plan one day to add licensing. Anyhow, right now that's probably the only thing I dislike and even that is trite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The only text editor you ever need"
What do you like best about Textmate?

I am a senior developer and I have been using Textmate for quite a long time. As Notepad++ is not available on macOS, this is the best alternative that anyone can think of. There is a number of options that allows you to customize the editor for any of your needs. I found the multiple Carets option really useful as it will allow you to make changes at multiple places at once. Also, there is File Search, Macros, Bundles, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Textmate?

It would have been better if there is a Terminal integration like the Visual Studio code. Some of the modern text editors have this option and it will allow users to execute terminal commands without leaving the editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"TextMate Editor"
What do you like best about Textmate?

TextMate is an excellent editor available for programmers, especially for Mac users. TextEditor is a very easy-to-use tool for viewing text, XML, CSV, and various other formats. It comes with line operations to convert text to upper or lower case, and the most impressive is the bundle feature that allows you to access the files per technology such as Hive, Java, HTML and the most common one, JSON Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Textmate?

TextMate is a very user friendly tool, nothing to dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best text editor for the Mac"
What do you like best about Textmate?

Textmate is a super simple yet super powerful text editor for the Mac. I use it to edit code and also always have an open Textmate window to jot down notes and ideas. It's great. Plus it's 100% free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Textmate?

Nothing. It really is the perfect text editor for the Mac. I really love everything about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most advanced Text Editor"
What do you like best about Textmate?

Surely, just as it happens to me, it also happens with other users, that the software tool we are most involved with in our business daily life is the code editor. I have been implementing it for several years, its versatility on the Mac platform has been to my liking and pleasure. It is worth highlighting that this robust and very complete editor has greatly contributed, it has multi-language support that is also extensible through bundles. Possibly one of the biggest attractions of its extension system is that they can be written in any language, so you can automate some common tasks in your editor using your favorite programming language. For all that has been said, I like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Textmate?

There is something specific that I will review below and the sole reason I will express for why I do not like this program. Since I have been using it, I have encountered programmatic discomfort as Textmate significantly slows down my large files when I need to process them. In this regard, I think they should improve support for editing large files. Without anything else to reference, I conclude. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Textmate, a tool that simplifies the work of every programmer."
What do you like best about Textmate?

In my opinion, Textmate is the best code editor currently available. It is my main tool for software and web development. It has nothing to envy from other text editors such as Atom, Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, or BBEdit. Its interface is intuitive, elegant, and user-friendly. Since they became open source, innovative features have gradually been added, making it very easy to use compared to competitors. Likewise, I like this program because of its robustness and its ability to identify possible syntax errors, thus reducing errors in the compilation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Textmate?

In the latest versions, Textmate removed the project drawer, which has increased the size of the files, but I am sure that this detail will be resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Textmate Wonderful IDE tool to start in the world of web programming"
What do you like best about Textmate?

I like Textmate because it is a complex and very robust programming tool, which I like because it has modules that are very helpful for starting to program. Textmate has the ability to change color so that you can identify programming modules and syntax errors much more easily, which prevents your program from compiling perfectly. Textmate instructs us with its libraries to create large and small programs perfectly and without errors. You can also use Textmate together with CSS and Java, it's the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Textmate?

Currently, I use the tool and the only serious error I have noticed is that it does not include all the libraries needed to undertake large projects. Sometimes, when opening the program, it takes a long time to execute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Textmate is an advanced editor for solving difficult tasks"
What do you like best about Textmate?

I like it because it is a fully advanced IDE tool that helps me with initial programming as the expert

contains graphics and standards of very good quality, I also like it because it is very easy to download and for free

it does not take up much space on your hard drive and is an IDE which helps you correct all syntax and compilation errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Textmate?

I don't like it because sometimes the program is slow when it comes to compiling programs, I also don't like it because Although it is a complex IDE, it does not have some libraries that are very important for programming.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
