BBEdit: 70% (command-g, command-= find next, replace with last criteria)
TextMate: 15%
Komodo Edit: 10%
processing/arduino: 3%
XCode: 2%

So, to be honest, I really don’t know what the key bindings are in xcode. Seriously, no disrespect intended, I was just showing Komodo off to a coworker yesterday and he was really interested in it… appropriately so, IMO. What my coworker said when I asked him what tools he uses was that there’s no one tool that does everything perfectly, and I agree.

Also, I continue to pound on Komodo, and plan on doing so indefinitely, which is probably the best compliment I can give to any open source tool. Code completion is the most important feature to me when I’m writing new things, and Komodo is the best at that feature for php.

What I should have said in the body of my post was this:

Things that these editors are the best at, in my opinion:

BBEdit: search and replace, opening large files
Komodo: code completion
TextMate: tab-based clipping support and fancy text editing UI tricks
XCode: Objective-C… that’s pretty much it for XCode, imo. And it’s the best at that task.
Coda: learning how CSS works
arduino/processing IDEs: easy code reformatting

Hello,
I work on Komodo and implemented the “annoying” find/replace dialog. I’m curious as to what exactly you mean here. If you use “Cmd+=” (on Mac OS X) to open the find/replace dialog, the “Replace” checkbox will be set (and the “Replace with” textbox enabled). I believe this is the same keybinding for doing a replacement in XCode. Or are you perhaps using Cmd+F to do replacements as well?

Cheers,
Trent
