I tried textShell in Wine it install, but it does not work.. Im trying to get away from Windows, then software to develop WebSite must run in Wine… Im using Notepad++ running flawless and the "e" than runs very well in Wine..

If there is a way to run TextShell in Wine let me know…

Anyway if TextShell can manage TextMate Bundles is great

Works fine for most things including Ruby code. Give it a look.

It is clear that all Mac users are all pretentious assholes who bash every other platform, and Windows/Linux users are all whiny babies who want TextMate on their platform and can't accept that the developer just doesn't care (because he is a pretentious asshole).

It's just comments like these (and those of the TM developer) that really fuels the Mac animosity that some of us non-Mac'ers have. Why does Mac users have to come off as so darned sure that their platform is inherently superior to everything else ? It's all well and good to be happy about your platform, but bashing other platforms with unsupported/unsound arguments is just utterly ridiculous.

/Oh yea, it's hard to call me jealous of the Mac crowd as my Linux system is happily humming on my Macbook Pro Unibody, which I admittedly love — I could "make the switch ™" at any moment, but I won't ;)

Microsoft Powershell: Powershell brings some of the same leverage of a 'nix or Mac command line

However even with this step forward, TextMate would VERY, VERY difficult to port to Windows. As a programmer (C/C++/Obj-C, MSVC, .NET (VB/C#/etc)) I understand the issues facing Alan in making TextMate work under Windows. Windows is a horribly messy development system (trust me, I know :P) even with their .NET simplifications and consolidations. Personally, the only why I would see TextMate coming to Windows… would be if Windows ( 8 or higher since 7 isn't much better than Vista :P ) went either open source… Or did what Apple did and switched to a 'nix kernel.

However… I cannot help also mentioning…

Just as OS X has custom/private libraries, windows does as well. Frankly, neither Apple NOR Microsoft NOR linux… all have the 'complete' picture for an 'ideal' operating system in my mind… But this is getting way off topic and I return to the topic by saying this:

For developing Rails/Ruby on Windows, I would suggest taking a look at what is now Aptana RadRails (available both as a plugin for Eclipse and standalone). I have been using it for a while now and I find to be one of the better options if you like an IDE… Namely the support for console commands (Rake, Script/Generate, etc, etc)

For a general programming text editor, I would strongly suggest taking a look at either E or jEdit. Java for Windows has improved somewhat though it remains somewhat bloated and at times sluggish.
