To MacApp Store or not.
That is the big question. Is there a benefit to being on the MacApp Store...yes absolutely....this is Apple we are talking about, but how would it effect my customers? Selling, maintaining, and supporting Mac Applications is completely different than iOS. Also the fact that you don't get a 30 day trial, plus Apple reviews all apps and has fairly strict standards. The path that we are kind of leaning down is to have basically two apps that are very similar, 1 app would be the more conservative of the two and sold on the Mac App Store. The other app would basically follow the natural evolution of an app and build the things that made the most sense to the user community, plus bug fixes could be pushed quicker. Let us know what you think.

The app will be available only on the store.
Your idea of a double app is nice, but double code, double testing I think will be an heavy work to do.
Have a nice day, Riccardo.

If you go Mac App Store, you will end up having a version that's Intel only, 10.6 only, and then another versions which does everything else.
That won't be fun and I'd bet you end up going App Store only quite soon afterwards.
That wouldn't be much fun for me. I bought skEdit because it was coded properly by an Apple engineer and didn't need to be rewritten for 10.6, which meant the odds of it going 10.6+ only were low.
Please don't go to the App Store unless you intend to keep updating for the rest of us! My current Mac has lasted over 5 years and counting... I can't afford to spend another $5,000 on a new Mac that will last that long, at least not just yet!

Coda and Espresso are prettier, but I don't use them. Neither have given me a good enough reason to pay for them and leave the perfect simplicity of skEdit. I agree with other comments, bug fixes are more important than cosmetic updates, for me.

INRE: skEdit updates... I've tried every other text editor, and I keep coming back to skEdit for its OCD level of simplicity. I love the super basic project window that nearly ALL other text editors either lack, or implement poorly. Snippets, hinting and completion are the only other key features for me.
