Excellent work, I am looking for notepad++ equivalent on Mac..

discuss

BBEdit from Bare Bones Software is a longstanding Mac text editor in the same vein as Notepad++, though it isn't open source or fully free to use. Bare Bones used to offer a free text editor for Mac called TextWrangler (with fewer features than BBEdit), but I guess they've now made the free mode of BBEdit their free offering.

How are sublime and textmate doing? Thought there was a lot of better choice than notepad++

Sublime is way too heavy weight. Notepad++ is that thing I open up when I need to edit a 2GB log file really quick. Or use a regex to fix up a CSV file that somehow got messed up.

Not having Notepad++ on MacOS is a major pain point for me.

Notably Notepad++ is not project/folder based. It is for editing a file.
