A plea for help

with 2 comments

Someone please release a decent scintilla based text-editor for OS X. Please? I’ve tried everything (and I mean everything), and nothing comes close to being as good as Notepad++. Komodo Edit comes really close, but it uses 60mb+ of RAM to do what Notepad++ or SciTE can do in <10mb. Plus, honestly, it’s kind of buggy, and no one needs buggy in their everyday work cycle.

I really wish I knew how to do desktop app development myself, because I am totally motivated to have this.

  2. Not really. I just got used to using Komodo Edit, which has gotten less buggy over time. Still would love a lighter weight editor, tho.
