(I should probably add that some of the features I'm looking for MAY be in some of those apps I tried, but I couldn't immediately find it, or had trouble implementing them. Where as with JEdit, installing plugins was VERY easy, and the features were easy to find. So I guess we're also scoring usability here as well as features) :) Gave Pagespinner a quick test… still love JEdit.

I was even able to get work to give me Dreamweaver for my mac - but would you believe, I'm still using JEdit (well, actually I'm using both, but mostly JEdit). Some features that I now can't do with out: The fact that it shows you beginning and ending tags and braces with a visible line in the sidebar. So if you're short a brace or have one to many, you can see it right away. The fact that it shows you with a little red line right on the page, where/if you have any php errors. (This is from a plugin). I now prefer IT"S method of "auto-complete" for tags. That you can have a dozen open tags, and then just hit </ and it'll close the first tag that needs to be closed, then you do that again, and it closes the next, etc. etc. The ONE and ONLY thing I don' like, is the function completion. That's from a plugin. I wish it could pop up suggestions as I type. Also - I played around with Zend Studio (on the pc - I assume it's the same for the mac) and I really like how once you hit $ it shows you all the available variables in the file you're working with. I wish JEdit did that as well. :) Other programs I tried but didn't care for: BBEdit (still can't get the auto complete thing to work), TextMate (couldn't get the php function complete to work, nor could I get the auto tag complete to work), Taco (nice simple html editor - but I need MORE! More features!), SubEthaEdit (didn't have the features I wanted). I think I will give pagespinner a spin though... looks interesting. But so far JEdit has won my heart. :) (In fact, I'll probably be downloading it for my PC too) I tried a few of these, and I have to say that so far JEdit is my favorite.

I've tried it and found 1 annoying lack-of-feature to make it a no-go for me. It doesn't do line numbers. You can go to a line number but you can't see them displayed. Other than that it is a full featured program. The immortal Zeldman uses PageSpinner. I’ve tried it and found 1 annoying lack-of-feature to make it a no-go for me. It doesn’t do line numbers.

It seems to me like a complete program with specific tools for PHP, CSS, JavaScript, Java, Server Side includes etc. I'm not exactly an expert to put it mildly... but it might be worth looking at. No I don't work for them. Has anyone tried PageSpinner for OS X?
