Re: OS X text editor - recommendations?

[Eli <eli@...>]

I also use vim, which can easily be installed from DarwinPorts. DarwinPorts is
kind of like Fink, but you can just install binary packages without having to
install the entire build infrastructure.

You can also, using Finder's "Connect To Server", find all the .pkg files
here:

http://packages.opendarwin.org

But I also like Hydra, which behaves almost exactly like any other MacOS X
text editor, with syntax highlighting and their very cool Rendezvous-enabled
collaborative editing.

I've written (hacked) a syntax file for Lua for Hydra, which I've included.
This was the product of about 20-30 minutes of work, so don't expect miracles.
