| The Mac Code Editor Quest |

Since I despise the Mac version of Dreamweaver, I'm on a never ending quest to find just the right HTML/PHP code editor for the Mac (since "switching" six months ago). There's certainly no shortage of editors out there, and I've tried a bunch of them - TextMate, BBEdit, TextWrangler, Taco HTML Editor, and skedit among others. I have to throw Coda in there as well, but it's more than just a text editor and I'm still deciding what I think of it. My must-haves for a coded editor are the following: 1. Some level of syntax color coding 2. Ability to indent a block of code with a keyboard shortcut 3. Ability to store code snippets (though this is a feature I under use). 4. Visible line numbering. 5. Decent search capability. Like-to-have: Ability to select an entire line by clicking on the line number (spoiled by Dreamweaver here). That's all I need really. Not asking for much. The latest entry to the fray (my own personal fray, that is) is Smultron. But wait, it doesn't support my 'like-to-have'. Damn.
