I have been using TextMate 'til now, but I am missing exactly one feature: vertical split view.
I know that Coda supports it, but I am not a big fan of a huge IDE which changes my workflow too much – in other words, I hate it if one application takes over my job.
TextMate is actually all I need:
- code completion
- syntax highlighting
- snippets
- filebrowser (project folder)
- accessible via the terminal
But the Vertical Split is just one feature I am really looking for. Have you an idea which editor could be the solution to my problem?

I will always answer Vim (or MacVim in this case): it does everything you want, some more and runs on every platform which gets the next hype!
You can split horizontally and vertically until you bleed. If you shy away from the steep learning curve of pure VIM, you can make Cream to tune Vim into an easier and "more to the standards" version ... but of course you can still vertically split and tab yourself to death.
