Although VMWare Fusion runs macOS guests perfectly well, I find Parallels has somewhat smoother graphics performance. It’ll also run Windows and Linux guests just as well as VMWare. The price and feature set are otherwise comparable. Nothing causes more controversy than a debate on “which is the best text editor”, so let’s get this one out of the way early! If you already have a favorite text editor you’ll hopefully find it’s already available on macOS. Atom, Brackets, and Sublime are all available on Apple’s desktop platform, but if you haven’t picked a favorite yet, then I’d recommend BBEdit from Bare Bones software. This Mac-specific text editor comes in a free version with no time restrictions, and offers a polite upsell for the extra features if you want them. I say ‘polite’ because there are no nags or reminders once you’ve passed the initial “trial” stage during which time all the extra features are enabled. You’ll only want to pay for it if you find the extra features are things you need (or you want to support the developer’s good work!).īBEdit has lots of useful features, like easy diffing, multi-file search, line processing, grep and project workspaces, to name a few. Of course, it has all the usual things you’d expect in a good text editor from column selection and multiple cursors to syntax highlighting, cold folding and snippet management. It also has great automation features with Python-based text filters and the ability to run user-defined scripts on selected text or the entire document. Conveniently, you can also run scripts that you’re editing within BBEdit itself.
