Just Use Sublime Text

Out of interest, why do you prefer Chocolat? I've just taken a look at it and it looks to be a really nice editor, but I can't quickly see any big advantages of using it (especially as Sublime presumably has a lot more plugins, etc).

It does look a lot cleaner, however - I'm not a big fan of the default UI of Sublime.

Sublime just always felt like a "ported" app. Chocolat is native, fits in with OSX perfectly, and at least for me, achieves the perfect sweet spot between customizable and minimalist. I just find myself being less "distracted" by the editor, and just getting my work done, than with anything else I've used. It isn't really one single thing that does it, but just the sum total of it. Not sure if that helps...

Sure, that makes complete sense. I develop on Linux about 30% of the time and OSX 70%, so it's useful to be able to use the same editor on both, but I'd definitely consider it if I was only using OSX.
