Ask HN: Does anyone still use TextMate?

2 pointsvuyani1 comment

If so, whats your reason for staying and not moving to more "modern" text editors like atom or sublime?

I still use textmate. I started with vi, which I still use for small edits, switched to sam, back to vi when I stopped having X on my Mac, and then to textmate. I have tried sublime and atom. I am sure they can be configured to work as I would like, but out of the box the distance seemed too far.

My desire to configure is strongest when I start writing reports (in LaTeX or markdown). I long for a distraction free mode with easy spell checking.
