Editing individual text files which have little in common with each other is obviously easier in Smultron because of TextMate's maddening lack of tab support for files that aren't a part of the same project, but TextMate is more useful for managing entire projects, such as Ruby on Rails site or a graphical Java Swing programme. I don't think it's fair though to compare TextMate and Smultron head on, because I use them for different things. Smultron does have Project like functionality, and it does have a code colouring menu which actually supports far more syntax rules than TextMate, but it doesn't have the other functionality for individual languages. For one thing the projects are easy to set up and are in XML (which I've been told I have a borderline perverse obsession with), and from one Bundles menu I can select the language I'm coding in and I have all the actions and properties I need. I'm currently a TextMate on my MacBook Pro user mainly because of convenience. Simple code editing on individual files is a snap, and the sidebar is much more elegant than an entire row of confusing tabs.
SMULTRON TEXT EDITOR FOR MAC OS X
Smultron is an open source text editor for Mac OS X written by Peter Borg, and I must say I'm impressed with it.
