EditPlus sucks, I have tried ETextEditor is similar than TextMate for Mac. This is really a good text editor.

While you’re at it, check out PSPad (www.pspad.com). I have the same with PSPad as you have with EditPlus: Found it and never looked back.

It has all the great features of Editplus, but it is open source (and therefore FREE).

Check it out!

I very much agree that EditPlus is the ultimate when it comes to text editors, and like you, when I switched to a Mac I lamented not having access to it. However, I discovered a very similar program for OS X called TextWrangler. It has the familiar color coding and remote editing (via FTP) capabilities. I strongly recommend it.

Agreed!!! Once I found Edit Plus I never looked back. I use regular expression find and replace all the time! Find in Files also supports regualar expressions so no need to grep anymore.
Verticle selection and multi line indention are features that VIM does not even have.

On top of everything its lightweight and fast.

You can use edit plus using wine/cross over office – I believe there is a crossover version for MAC now.

I’m using it on Ubuntu Linux with no problems

[...] This is the access control list or ACL, it is obviously very hard to read. I use EditPlus to do a regular expression find (;) and replace (;n) on the permissions to clean it up a bit. [...]

I don’t use any of the project management file grouping stuff in Edit Plus (or any IDE for that manner) I just open the file from the directory as I need them. I’ve had hundreds open at once without issue.

The ability to edit files remotely is pretty nice, but is of limited functionality when you consider that most projects involve several files.

I found that I was able to connect to a remote server and add remote files to a project, but this support was flaky at best and resulted in application crashes from time to time. Also, when you add files to a project, there is no mechanism for browsing a remote server from there. The only way to add remote files is to first connect to the remote server, open the files, and then add them to your project.
