To make this list, an editor must either be free or cost $50 plus and have a dedicated fanbase of evangelists.

Or are the best code editors for OS X free in 2021? Github built a powerful free editor called Atom before Microsoft bought Github. It’s cramped but less distracting than the two tier version.īefore I drop another $40 into BareBones’ coffers, I’d like to know what I’m missing out on and if there’s a better code editor in which to invest. Superficially, the two applications look almost identical, along with the menus but two tier title bar has been reduced to a single bar. I don’t much use the Markup menu to write HTML any more as I usually write in Markdown and when I’m not writing Markdown I know my HTML commands well enough to write the tags outright myself. Syntax highlighting, SFTP mode, multifile search, diff all work great for me with Regex lurking in the background as a new temptation. I’m happy with how v11 works and not missing much. As I’m currently running v11.1.4 it’s time to consider upgrading. My long time main code editor BBEdit just updated to version 14.
