TextMate VS neovide

I mostly work on MacOS these days and previously my general purpose text editor wax Textmate: https://github.com/textmate/textmate

Last official release was 2021, so I looked for something more regularely updated, and found CudaText. Definitely very Sublime-ish, and I like it so far.

Textmate 2.0 got open-sourced https://github.com/textmate/textmate but it looks pretty much abandoned/finished.

If you want something like TextMate maybe use TextMate? https://macromates.com

Use a native editor. VS Code is IMHO awful. Someone mentioned Sublime which is fast and has some nice features, but its non-native UI is IMHO ugly and clumsy. You might like it for similarity to VS Code, I guess. If you want something much more "Mac", though: https://macromates.com

I know no one talks about it anymore but TextMate 2 is still actively being developed and I find it excellent.

TextMate is a well-known code editor for developers who code on a Mac system.

See, VSCode itself utilizes grammar files called “tmLanguage” files to tokenize your code. This tokenizer is borrowed from TextMate.

- have a “graphical” user interface: https://github.com/neovide/neovide

The process above works fine, though, depending on your setup and project, you might appreciate the benefits of a lean editor like Neovide. So, let’s see how to configure Neovim to run with Unreal Engine.

EDIT: I found this just now -> https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/1902 and disabling relative line numbers does indeed make the problem more or less disappear.

Not Emacs, but perhaps https://github.com/neovide/neovide will be of interest to you.

im certainly not a programmer , but NVIM with SOME gui like neovide it looks amazing and great,

Yes it is neovide: https://github.com/neovide/neovide

iTerm2, since Terminal.app doesn't support 24-bit colors and I used Neovim for some time. I now use Neovide for Neovim, so all I use iTerm2 for now is the UI (I have a theme I like, plus dark mode actually works).

I feel this smooth cursor should be everywhere by default, as it gives so much better user experience. I have also been looking for a solution for neovim as well, but based on what I know, only Neovide has support for this. And most plugins do smooth scrolling only, rather than smooth cursor.
