Have you seen the scroll bars on this thing? Or the Icon? No way I'm using this on OSX...

Imagine your friends see this app running on your computer, i mean gooosh.... whatevahhh they wouldn't invite you to their minimalism exquisite design parties anymore.

I know you Linux guys are used to every app having a completely different look and feel, but on the mac this app just doesn't feel native.

But your story was cool too...

Wow, what a incredibly stupid troll. Could you paint a bigger "I parrot decade old OS stereotypes" on your forehead?

Especially when this is most likely to integrate in Linux, given that it will follow your GTK theme.

You might have a heart attack when you see the file picker ;)

Agreed. Whoever suggested this thing is a good fit for OS X should be harpooned by the ghost of Steve Jobs.

I do use this on OS X and agree that it does not look quite 'native'. It might be possible to port Textadept to be fully native. Scite, which uses the same Scintilla engine, is available as a native OS X app.

It might also be possible to tweak the GTK layouts for the OS X version.

I don't think sticking with GTK for the OS X version is a wise idea. It really just needs to go Cocoa or not bother, since right now it's downright unpleasant to use for me. Scrolling through text using a trackpad, for example, feels completely unnatural next to the rest of the OS X UI (horizontal scrolling appears to barely work at all - vertical scrolling isn't too bad but there is something very off about it). I think the decision to go with GTK for the OS X version was just a poor choice and probably not one made by anyone who uses OS X often.

In the meantime, I guess I'll go look at the source and see what kind of changes would need to be made to use Cocoa in place of GTK on OS X.
