Editor's review of TextWrangler 2.1.1

4.0 stars
"A free text editor"

Want a great text editor, for free? Look no further. For the moment, anyone can grab a copy of TextWrangler for nothing. If you don't require the sweeping feature set of BBEdit (from the same developer), TextWrangler offers an impressive alternative. This versatile text editor may lack some of the high-end features for scripting and Web-authoring, but it still delivers useful text-editing capabilities. The interface offers several features we found useful, including the documents drawer and navigation bar, which make it easier to switch between multiple documents while conserving screen real estate. Other features include syntax coloring and function navigation for several languages; a Shebang menu; SFTP support; enhanced multifile search and replace; and the ability to apply Text Factories created with BBEdit. For Markup Coders and programmers, TextWrangler is a simple, solid, and wonderfully useful program.

Version: TextWrangler 2.1.1

"Better for free than many editors you pay for."

by lcp1 on December 1, 2005

Pros: Excellent for the casual/average programmer, with automatic formatting and color coding for various languages. Ability to FTP directly from the program, and call the program from the terminal window is great.
