ANONYMOUS  We need apps like this because Apple's text editor are nothing of the sort. At least with Simple Text you could edit html code.

If you don't like non-Apple UI, or method of working, stay clear and download something bigger and more bloaty that works how you expect.

If all you want to do is edit plain text file / html etc and don't mind the above, this might do it for you

ANONYMOUS  You can edit HTML in Apple's TextEdit too.

EUROPA  I love this program, also the design of the interface is great and its the fastest texeditor around.

Its very good how it manage to intergrate with mac os x so flawlessly (even os 9) with that design

Its even theme customizable

"APPLE USER SINCE -88"  I seldomly complain on poor products. I simple let them slide into the Trash but looking at this I cannot shut up; this is by far the ugliest app I've ever seen on OS-X. How is this supposed to be integrated in the rest of the environment a user is facing? Look for instance at keyboard shortscuts, at the file requesters and the way they and the whole app does NOT fit into a working system.

This show how good Apple is at UIs dispite the bad parts in the NEXT herritage.

I keep on using BBEdit thank you......

ANONYMOUS  Without "the bad parts of the NeXT heritage", Apple wouldn't have a chance to do any UI, because Apple would either be defunct or shipping a skinned version of XP. Think about that.

ANONYMOUS  If the find feature handled grep, this would be worth keeping around. As it is, if I'm going to use a non-native text editor, I'll use jEdit.

OS X OR NOTHING  "This just shows how much work OS X needs before it'll be usable."

USABLE?!?!? You are certifiably out of your mind, or perhaps you just picked a bad choice of words... OS X is a dream come true, and I have been using Apple computers since 1978. There is no way I want *any* part of *any* older Mac OS.

ANONYMOUS  Exactly. Compared to OS9, OSX's interface is noticably sluggish even on my G5. Plus I miss being able to drag select items in list view with a selection box.

ANONYMOUS  I really want to hate this app, because, well, just look at it!, but the fact that it's so blindingly fast makes it impossible to hate.

This just shows how much work OS X needs before it'll be usable.

A MARTIN  Maybe Haxial should start deveolping an Operating System. Faster applications than theirs are difficult to find. :-)

Just check the launch time of Haxial TextEdit!

ANONYMOUS  Their apps also don't do all that much. If you want the Haxial equivalent of an OS, use 7.1 on a Quadra 840.

DOUG  What can i say, it's fast, free, cross-platform, skinnable, and can handle LARGE files with ease. I only wish the find and replace handled wildcards or 'special' characters like tabs and newlines.
