[TxMt] Re: Best iPad Text Editor for Textmate Users

[Brad Rice]

I just got my Textastic app update. It now has Dropbox and FTP. Seems to work well once yo figure out the interface. Very nice syntax highlighting for writing code. I like the arrow keys to move back and forth on the line instead of having to touch to insert your cursor at the right spot.

You can see everything I like and dislike about Elements (and why monospaced fonts are important to me) in these posts:

The developer's ode to distraction-free writing (http://xrl.us/bied7x) was silly, and was rightly mocked by Merlin Mann (http://xrl.us/bhz5cc), but the app itself looked interesting to me.

I stopped using it because it only allows Helvetica, making it nearly impossible to align columns, and it uses its own syncing system instead of Dropbox. But Simplenote has, far and away, the best search feature of any of the notes apps I've looked at. Still not incremental, though.
