I’d imagine that pretty much everyone here has. I’ve tried it and stuck with Intype because:
1) cygwin – No need to elaborate.
2) I despise e’s GUI.
3) The last time I gave e a serious shot it decided that it would like to take a break every 15 to 30 minutes.
I see that cygwin is no longer a requirement for snippets and whatnot so I might consider giving it another shot once items two and three on my list have been addressed. With that said, I’ll probably be a Mac tard long before Intype hits 1.0 or e gets its shit together.
iaihmb: I’ll probably be a Mac tard long before Intype hits 1.0 or e gets its shit together.
e won’t ever get its shit together, I don’t believe that will happen. Intype will probably hit 1.0 in like a little over a year or something? Just guessing. But by then I will certainly be a Mac user, and both OS X and TextMate will have gone forth in its evolution. I could probably use Intype in Parallels though ;)
I use Notepad/Nano for daily development with no problems too… before I pampered myself with all the nice little things that more development-oriented editors offer. :P Most of Intype users feel that although e is vastly superior to Intype feature-wise in the current state, its user experience and UI is rather unwieldy.
I can certainly see the potential that intype has however, if development were to stop today on both editors I could still press on and use e in the current state but I wouldn’t use intype to edit plain html as it stands right now.
What HTML oriented features does E have that Intype doesn’t?
If we’re not talking aesthetics then what are we talking?
Cygwin? Current and future stability?
I think that people think E is a joke because it’s a one man project and features are being added all of the time. Everything about the development of E just seems wrong. It seems there’s no real direction and I’m under the impression that features are just being added to E all willy nilly whereas the developers of Intype have, at the very least, created the illusion of competence and professionalism.
What are these mystery horrific problems with e’s interface? I’d change that bug ugly logo but again that aesthetics and thats about all I can point out at this point and I’m looking pretty damn hard.
Where’s the mystery? E’s and eye sore.

Have you ever installed the current version of e and have you ever worked with it? Seems like you did not.

The mystery is, that you are just a little fanboy. :-)
daniel: How is it relevant that you’ve successfully used Notepad/Nano for development? I see the point you’re trying to make but it completely misses the mark.
Apparently, you don’t see the point.
daniel: Get what shit together? I use e for daily development with absolutely no problems.
So I’ve used Notepad/Nano/Vim/SCITE/etc blah blah for daily development with no problems. I don’t see any problems with using them for dev. So why bring up that point?
Ingwar is right, there’s no sense comparing these two apps when they are at very different stages of development.
Have you ever installed the current version of e and have you ever worked with it? Seems like you did not.
I see a number of items under “Bundles -> HTML” in E which aren’t present in Intype and that’s because E has implemented TextMate’s whole scripting in bundles feature which isn’t specific to HTML. Note that I said features and not functions. Most items under “Bundles -> HTML” in E rely on a single feature to provide different function. With that said I only see two items in that menu which stick out; “Insert color” and “Insert Websafe color”. “Insert color” has probably been there for a while but it seems “Insert Websafe color” was added recently. So, are you going to remove your head from your arse and join the conversation or what?

Three words in and your wit fails you? Haha. You should finish grade school and come back.
Chank: Isn’t textmate only developed by one guy. Who cares that E is? If that one guy is getting it done and that works.
I believe David Hansson had quite a bit to do with it in the beginning even though I don’t think that he actually did any of the developing. Besides, we’re not shooting for TextMate, we’d like something better. :)
Why is this even a debate. We all know that we live in a opinionated and discriminating world. Lets all get over our own egos and just use what makes you the most productive and if that means using something that is more aesthetically pleasing than something with more functionality than so be it.
Sorry about that, I was a bit less than civilized there.
Chank: It honestly boggles my mind as to why Textmate isn’t just ported to cross
platform code.
I believe it’s because of all the UNIX-style shell scripting that TextMate heavily relies upon which would make porting difficult (e solves this by emploing Cygwin – one could argue about elegance of such solution). Also there is no good cross platform editing component available, except for maybe Scintilla which has its quirks and isn’t very well documented, at least in my opinion.
