| May 27, 2012 at 12:59 | comment | added | Gerry | @ThorbjørnRavnAndersen depends on the purpose. For a web dev box I find OS X Server overkill, and you'd still have to deal with config files to accomplish everything anyway. | |
| May 27, 2012 at 10:57 | comment | added | Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen | I believe this is much easier in Lion Server. These days the price of that is reasonable even for hobby projects. | |
| May 13, 2012 at 16:45 | comment | added | Alexander | well obv you'd switch to plain text mode… (if it wasn't already since textedit switches to plain text when opening regular .txts) | |

I agree that a GUI text editor is probably a better approach for people who are not programmers or who don't have much unix experience, however, TextEdit is the wrong application to advise using simply because it defaults to a variable-width font and rich text. This can cause all sorts of problems (beyond the simple usability nightmare of writing code in variable-width) that will be extremely difficult or impossible for this person to debug. | |
| Mar 12, 2012 at 15:22 | comment | added | Alexander | yeah but it might be cuz i gave my account root permissions xD, i'll try it later | |
| Mar 12, 2012 at 14:40 | comment | added | Gerry | Did you try that out @XAleXOwnZX? | |
| Mar 12, 2012 at 13:47 | comment | added | Alexander | generally works if u sudo it | |
| Mar 11, 2012 at 21:08 | comment | added | Gerry | @XAleXOwnZX: I'm sorry but that's just bad advice. If anything, you'll find it next to impossible to edit these files in TextEdit.app because a lack of privileges, as NReilingh also pointed out. Also, it is not unreasonable to expect some aquaintance with the console from any (aspiring) web developer. | |
| Mar 10, 2012 at 21:22 | comment | added | NReilingh | Nano is quite user-friendly, IMO, and it's really annoying to try to edit something with root privileges from the GUI. | |
| Mar 10, 2012 at 20:28 | comment | added | Alexander | i would advise you to never suggest any sort of terminal text editor, just use textedit.app in the command instead of nano, because terminal text editors are just barbaric. | |
