I hate to say this, guys, and I may get flack, but I'll be honest. I switched to BBEdit a number of months ago (and I plan on upgrading to the newest version). I got it at an educational discount, which was ~$100. It works great. I also use Komodo (on Windows and Linux) and I find it very useful but pretty sluggish at times (it uses Mozilla).

I would really like to see Pepper developed further, but I haven't heard anything on it in the last year or so, except the following from Mr. Slack:

"I am working on a Cocoa version since my return from the Big Nerd Ranch taking Aaron Hillegass's Cocoa course."

"I had thoughts of a version written in QT."

"I also had someone offer to buy the Source code."

Not too encouraging, especially that last bit, to be quite frank.
