Excellent application. It's syntax highlighting is better when compared to Smultron (which got confused when I used PHP echo calls with escaped quotation marks) and I love the HTML tag auto-close feature. The tabs are really useful too as I tend to work with multiple files at once.

One thing I would like to see changed is the tab design. It just doesn't fit into the modern Mac OS X Lion interface anymore in my opinion.

This has always been one of my favourite applications and I previously participated in the 4.0 beta program.

Since I have had problems with my licence I have contacted Before Dawn Solutions many times but with no response to date.

The app is available through the app store. I'm sure it's just as good as it was before the acquisition by before Dawn. I would just voice some concern over the developer's ability to support this app.

skEdit have now been in touch with me and they have apparently made e a change to the site because, for some reason the mail wasn't getting through as it should be.

Latest version that apparently makes it compatible for sale in the AppStore is a bit buggy.

Upgrading my previous version of the software, completely nuked all my preferences, my registration, even my snippets. I'm now having to start over, configuring everything. This sucks.

I've contacted the developer to find out what I need to do to get my registration back, but it's been several hours and no reply.

I've written to this developer twice since he acquired it and have not gotten anything back.

Unfortunately, it looks like this once great software is going to wither and die at the hands of a developer who doesn't either know what he's doing or care. Sad. With Textmate also in the same boat, I guess I am going to finally move over to Panic's stuff and buy Coda. At least with Panic, I know they will respond to emails and offer better support of their products.

I apologize for the mistake, fortunately the problem is easily solved:
1) you can use the "Recover" option in the application, or go to the website my account section, or submit a support ticket.

2) regarding the projects and settings, I have created several knowledge articles and blog entry that cover the issue they are available here:

Knowledge articles:

I apologize for the issue, sometimes we get a little anxious to release something when it hasn't been tested against all of the variables.

I've spoken to John, the president of Before Dawn Solutions and he has corrected all of my issues. I'm not one to refuse to admit when I'm wrong and in this case, I was wrong. There was some issues with this latest update, and the developer has admitted such. I am thankful that he's being so forefront with things and I'm just thrilled that this great software is receiving updates again. Thank you for helping correct these issues - I look forward to what comes next. Thanks again.

Downloaded the demo and I like the editor/layout. One concern is, if it is still being developed/updated or not.

I've been trying to get the perl userscript called markdown to work with this. It works for textwrangler, but not this. Is there an alternative anywhere? The script adds html paragraph tags to some text.

Okay, I've solved this by using the snippets feature. Very good app.

This looks really cool... I just wish php documents would also update as you type like html documents do. I guess it would have to have its own access to the php engine like Taco HTML Edit does.

It's amazing how many HTML editors I've used... Of all of those, with out a doubt, skEdit is the easiest to use, has the best interface, and is fully Mac native. Version 4.0 is great except for a few things:

1. There needs to be an "Upload All" button in the toolbar. Also, it should be able to detect which files have non-uploaded changes and only upload those files.

2. The tabs show up despite my preferences setting. The settings take effect normally, but when you open a new window, the tabs come back.

That's all I can think of so far. I have Mac OS X 10.4.11. My copy of skEdit is registered.

This is a great text editor I've been using since v3.5. Although, there's no exact comparison, skEdit 4.0 contains the important features other contenders (textmate, coda and bbedit) offer. Then, developed with simplicity and ease of use, makes skEdit in disposable. The developer seems to have put forth much effort with v4 and continues to rival what it takes entire companies to create.

I've been using skEdit as my primary editor for a few years now. It is by far the best HTML editor out there. The previous version was already pretty good, version 4 is amazing. I've been working professionally with the beta versions for a year. The developer worked very hard on it, was very responsive and just delivered the best editor out there. Stop looking for an editor, you found it.
