Absolutely amazing program! Light, powerful, beautiful, stable... Highly recommended.
I have had to retract my positive comment of a year ago as the Cudatext editor is simply too unstable for productive work. It is VERY good so long as it works but horrible if it doesn't -- which unfortunately happens WAY too often... every update is a potential dead end where even basic stuff stops working or breaking changes are introduced which mean that one has to go through the (numerous) options before being able to continue working. Really sad but I can't work with an app like that.

I switched to CudaText for a while because I found a lot of the interface very intuitive and logical. And unlike similar style editors (your sublimes etc) it doesn't eat all the resources on my geriatric machine. And it is FLOSS which is always preferable. :)
It is developed primarily it seems by Windows users and ported to Mac OS without much/any testing so has the same problems as all non-native applications. Little things that don't quite work properly. Unfortunately little things like keyboard shortcuts not being working/configurable can really be deal breakers. Perhaps a smarter person could figure out how to get it to work, but I couldn't.
If I had to use Windows this is definitely the first text editor I would try because I'm pretty sure most of my problems were result of platform.
Cudatext is a very capable programmer's editor with great potential. There are two big problems with it though: some releases are as buggy as hell as the developer is no great fan of pre-release testing. Second, the dev too often introduces changes that are not backwards-compatible so that your super-duper setup all of sudden doesn't work anymore.
This is perfect. This is by far the closest FOSS alternative to Sublime you'll find. I love that it's written in Lazarus as well. An underrated stack in my opinion.
The closest true competitor to SublimeText, open source!
