2. TextWrangler for editing files directly on the server or locally

I hadn't heard about TextWrangler before now. What (besides the low
low price) made that the one to use?

I know I gravitated towards it when I first went back to using a Mac because I had fond memories of using BBEdit years ago.

BBEdit has a great slogan, btw: "It doesn't suck." Once upon a time, it was the only decent programmer's editor on the mac platform.

So when I first picked up a MacBook Pro a few years back, I went looking for BBEdit, noticed there was this free TextWrangler thing, and gave it a shot. It's got a nice feature set, while remaining fairly lightweight, and it just works.

I tried going to Eclipse a few times, but i always found myself fighting over one thing or another (managing remote files was a big one). So I went back to TextWrangler.

These days, I still use TextWrangler daily for quick changes via SFTP to remote systems.

For real development work, running on my local AMP stack, it's usually Coda (for the past few weeks)
