Excellent text editors with all the features I need, and most of the features I want.

I’ve used this editor every day for quite some time, along with Nano (that’s right; man nano) in Terminal for really quick edits. Textastic is fast, has reasonable organizational abilities once you get used to “rooting” commonly used sub-folders, supports all standard keyboard navigation, allows overriding of shortcuts through System Preferences→Keyboard→Shortcuts, has reasonable customization capability (via TextMate-style bundles), integrates well with Dash and other external snippet tools (with Emmett built-in for HTML), is very resource friendly, integrates perfectly with OS X split-screen, and iCloud between it and the iPad version is invaluable. You can even open files directly in it from the terminal using "open -a textastic” (I alias it). The things it does, it does well.

To counter the other reviewers, it’s my belief that SFTP has no place in an editor as most any SFTP tool will do change tracking/automatic uploads and whatnot, will do it better, and that if you’re “editing live” you’re doing it wrong and should be using a change tracking system like Git, Mercurial, or Subversion. Misunderstanding HTML jump-to-tag to mean general bracket matching isn’t the fault of the author, to cover another review’s complaint.
