"Text Utilities" is a useful browser-based tool for geeks. It's a web page that does all sorts of operations on text, e.g. escape/ unescape, hashing, regexp testing.

Doh! I bought TextMate only to learn that it no longer works properly with WordPress.

In a few months, you are going to get hit with the need to buy Leopard, anyhow.

Still waiting for Leopard, and not terribly impressed by the new features listed.

Don’t spend fifty Euros on a text editor with hardly any features you really need.

Being able to play with WordPress posts through xmlrpc.php is very cool. See this screencast (30 megs, Quicktime).

Tony,

Thanks for the link and the information. Toying with a few of my PHP scripts, such as the one that adds the smart footer to my RSS feed, I am beginning to see the value of TextMate.

I don’t quite see 39 Euros worth of value yet, but I am open to being convinced.

I’m a true believer in TextMate but surely not geeky enough to convert you. I’ve been using it for a long time, it’s my favourite text editor, I’m pretty slow, so I’m still discovering great things it can do (I specially love Find and Save in Project, and I’ve only just worked out how to use a simple macro which really saves time with repetitive tasks). You can blog direct from it using a Blogging bundle (I don’t, often, because WordPress is so good.) But I do write most of my posts on TextMate first, and I do all my HTML stuff with it.

Have a look at the screencasts here, especially on blogging and HTML tags. I thought they were pretty exciting.

Still not converted? Oh well, I hope someone else comes up with some better reasons.

Here's a good start for appreciating TextMate. Also, see this on Quicksilver.
