Web Developers, which code editor do you use on your Mac?

For JavaScript, HTML/CSS... Text Wrangler sucks compared to Notepad ++ on PC. Is there anything else that's FREE and has intellisence/auto-complete and has syntax highlighting?
 
Sublime Text is awesome but so is Coda 2 for what is being worked on. Does sublime text still have the never-ending trial period?
 
BBEdit. TextWrangler is the free version.

What's so good about Sublime Text? I downloaded it, can't figure out how to open remote files (FTP/SFTP). Looks like a bitch to use when you have a bunch of files open.
 
Sublime text. Mugs, It has tabs and they can be dragged to their own window.

I see it has tabs, and if you have a bunch open you don't get to see much of the filename. I can work with a lot more files in a single BBEdit/TextWrangler window, and I can see the filenames because they're in a sidebar.

What about working with remote files? That's such a basic feature for a development-oriented text editor.
 
I'm not sure. I've only ever tested on a local test environment before pushing out to a remote server. Sublime supports many plugins, so there may be an extension for that.
 
Pycharm (I need Python support) but basically Webstorm.
I also use TextWrangler and Xcode. Just depends what I am working on.
 
SublimeText with package control. It destroys Coda 2. The only thing Coda 2 has over Sublime is working off the server, but then again this is bad practice anyway.
 
Eh, not really. It just bugs you from time to time when you save. Every 50 saves or so it shows an alert asking for you to purchase. It is kind of like winrar.

ohh.... awesome! Downloading it then. ; )

gotta look into coda 2 as well
 
I think Sublime Text is the most popular among developers, but who knows.

I would use Eclipse, but I am one of the few developers that doesn't hate it for some reason.
