Scite Text Editor For Mac



The SciTE Text Editor, whilst being one of the most lightweight editors available, is also one of the best. I created my own package simply to provide a one-stop setup for SciTE with all the extras I, and probably most other people need. Unlike the Atom editor, Sublime Text protects and copyrights its code and is thus not the freedom-ware some would like it to be. Although the developer and community that surround Sublime text are incredible supporters of open source, the fact that Sublime text is not open source, and that the development of it has slowed down incredibly, makes it difficult for the community to get involved in. SciTE is an open source, cross-platform and freely distributed graphical software based on the ScIntilla project, implemented in C and GTK+, designed from the offset to act as a source code. A collection of Windows Explorer shell extensions with support for many Open-Source and Commercial text editors. Supports EditPad, EditPlus, EmEditor, Komodo Edit, Multi-Edit, Notepad, Programmer's Notepad, PSPad, SciTE, SlickEdit, Sublime Text, TextPad, UEStudio, UltraEdit, VEDIT, Vim and Zeus IDE.Each shell extension displays the text editor's icon.

Constantly improved and updated by developer.
Seems very stable, I've so far not had any problems.
For my semi-noob programming it is a nice tool to get a code overview and editing!

Plenty powerful for moderate coding. I use it for work all the time.
It isn't packed with features and the editor itself is quite bare, but it does what I need, which is give me a no-nonsense editor with syntax highlighting for multiple languages and document tabs.

There is no comparison for what SciTE is, when your doing most any sort of light duty software developing/scripting you can find more than enough uses for SciTE's capabilities. I wish there were more applications this small but useful, five stars.

Love Scite, been using it for years. Doesn't have all the features I would want but has all the features I really need.

Great editing engine although the editor itself is quite limited in features.
However it still deserves a 5!
