			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don't know if I've ever personally mentioned this and I know I'm <strong>years</strong> late to the party, but it bears repeating that <a href="http://macrabbit.com">CSSEdit</a> and <a href="http://macromates.com">TextMate</a> are two of the only applications I miss when I'm on a Linux machine. One could argue that there is always (re: eternally) going to be vi/vim or emacs, but in my opinion there is no beating the combination of these two applications for web development or layout work.</p>

<p><span id="more-11"></span></p>

<p>CSSEdit has the most powerful and well thought-out interface I've ever seen for working with stylesheet properties, and its source-and-visual CSS editor is rightfully award-winning. If you've got to spend more than an hour a week in stylesheets, CSSEdit is the only reasonable tool for the job.</p>

<p>If you're more of a codemonkey, TextMate is the darling of both the Unix refugee camp that took shelter in OS X recently, as well as the <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/">Ruby</a> and <a href="http://rubyonrails.com/">Rails</a> development communities. It's sort of the best damned text-and-code editor ever produced for the MacOS, with the possible exception of the long-time heavyweight, <a href="http://www.barebones.com/">BBEdit</a>. The <a href="http://wiki.macromates.com/Main/Bundles">bundles</a> are well structured, and support almost any language or variant you can think of.</p>

<p>If you're in the market for power editors, you could do worse than giving these two a spin. Of course, if you're the "all in one" sort, there is always <a href="http://www.panic.com/coda/">Coda</a>, by the boys at Panic. While it was slightly raw the last time I used it, if I hadn't already owned a license for TextMate and CSSEdit when it came out I'd have probably purchased it. It's improved considerably, and it is under steady development, but it is extremely web-centric (see the supported languages) and that might be a drawback for some people.</p>
