Tips on a good MacOS editor?

[Varsuuk]

Basically, none of the editors I have were as functional as Notepad++

For my initial looking into ruleset ladt night, I ended up using the Eclipse I already had on my laptop (I nowadays have switched to Netbeans, but eclipse had simple lua and xml already)

I'm willing to buy a reasonably priced editor if nothing is open source like notepad++ that fits the bill.

Would have loved it if could use xCode as well since would give me more practice with that as well.

Sublime Text all the way!

Text Wrangler - Free Version of BBedit and Brackets also free.

I didn't think TextWrangler had Lua/xml support, guess was wrong.

I really miss having IDE-like editors though. You know like Netbeans. But any decent context-sensitive, autocomplete would rule.

Textmate and coda is suppose to be good too. As fir xcode i know they keep cranking out new versions.

As I said, Sublime Text. It has support for a ton of languages, including XML and Lua, and is context-sensitive and has autocomplete functionality. While not free, the trial never expires and is not limited in functionality, provided you don't mind the nag screen. I purchased it and it is my go to for almost everything that I do outside of IntelliJ or Visual Studio.

And yes, there is a Mac and also Linux version of it. Additionally, you can create your own plugins very easily thanks to the plugin API (and with a bit of Python knowledge).
