Coding IDE's for your Mac

jgaber@uoguelph.ca's picture

After ditching my old Ubuntu/Dell ensemble, I am now 80% Mac-converted. However, there are still some things I'm having trouble adjusting to. In particular, I haven't found any programming IDE's that compare to the many open-source options I found on Ubuntu. I've gone from doing all my web development on Quanta+ to TextWrangler. Giving up all my keystroke shortcuts and auto-completion is more difficult than I thought it would be.

So, are there any freeware or non-guiltware programming IDE's for Mac that I should check out, not just for web languages, but anything you can think of? (And yes, I've heard of Eclipse.)

Just install Quanta from

Just install Quanta from Macports if that's what you like.

I used to use Quanta, but I now use Eclipse. PDT is quite good for PHP development, SVN / CVS integration is great, and there are neat plugins like Monkey for writing javascript to automate actions. If you used it on older machines, you might want to give it a try again, as 3.4 is quite reasonable on my Macbook.
