A lot of this is possible in Xcode, but kudos to the team for packaging everything so nicely in this editor, and there are a few standout features I haven’t seen in other editors/IDEs:
- multifind
- find in all enums (declaration/structure-specific search)
- the “minimap”
Like another poster said, just the few niche functions alone would be a cool acquisition target for Apple. I’d love to see the best/unique parts of this make it into Xcode without having to maintain the rest of the wheels that have been reinvented here.
I guess you kinda have to reinvent all those wheels as a foundation upon which to build new unique features for a text editor though…
