CodeEdit is a popular, free, open source native code editor for Mac providing a lightweight and fast alternative to other code editors like Xcode.
It offers features expected in a code editor such as support for multiple programming languages, syntax highlighting, autocompletion, Git integration, plugin support, and a clean user experience.
CodeEdit aims to offer a lightweight experience akin to TextEdit while still maintaining feature-rich capabilities similar to Xcode.
It is suitable for programmers at various levels, but if speed and power are your priorities, BBEdit could also be a great choice.
