I’ve been using Alpha over various generations since I got my first powerbook G3 decades ago, for programming, and for text. I use it daily. I’ve toyed with others now and again, and have systematically returned to Alpha. It’s the best editor I’m aware of. I give full points on all scores, because if I didn’t, it would only to make the spurious point “nothing is perfect”. I’ve no complaints on any front, hence full points.

Excellent Editor. Use it to write latex and html since many years.

I've been using this editor ever since its first availability on Classic MacOS and am delighted to see it entering the 21st century as a powerful and feature-packed open source editor which can be extended by user scripting to do almost anything. Other editors just seem bloated or clumsy by comparison.
