TextMate reigns supreme with ‘Ack in Project’ September 29th, 2008
The one thing holding TextMate back from Ruby / Rails domination is its horribly slow search functionality. Using ‘Search in Project’ will take what seems like an eternity to pop up any results. The only real attempt at solving this headache was to use ‘Grep in Project’, but it left a lot to be desired including search speed. Now comes the solution, ‘Ack in Project’ was a project created on GitHub back in August to use the much more efficient Ack library for searching. With enhanced output, it has given other IDEs like NetBeans and IntelliJ a swift quick to the balls as to what is the best Ruby / Rails editor.
[sourcecode language="shell"]
$ cd /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Bundles/
$ sudo git clone git://github.com/protocool/ack-tmbundle.git Ack.tmbundle
