Ok, so now that I’ve got your attention…

TextMate is not coming out for Windows. However, I just stumbled across what looks to be a very promising new text editor based on TextMate.

Intype is extensible in the same manner as TextMate, with the concept of bundles that contain snippets of text that expand out into full text. Intype comes with HTML, CSS, PHP, Ruby and many other bundles installed out of the box.

Intype is still in early beta, and not nearly as mature as TextMate. However, this looks to be the closest thing that we have on Windows so far. It’s only a matter of time before the features are there.

Intype is free during the beta, but after its gone final, I expect that we’ll end up having to shell out about $50 for this editor. Not a bad price tag… I’d gladly pay it to have TextMate-like functionality on my Windows PC.
