Thanks for writing this up so beautifully. I'm an old Mac user and user Nova daily, mostly for Playdate development. It has been very unstable/crash-prone recently, agreed. The major crasher that lost me much work was fixed in a recent update, so I no longer want to delete the app but I would still appreciate it if they could take their foot off the new features pedal and improve stability.<p>I also have the following installed BBEdit (for some advanced commands only it can do), Sublime Text (for quick opening and searching of directories of text).<p>My favourite and default text editor: CotEditor <a href="https://coteditor.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://coteditor.com</a> (for it's unbelievable speed of launching, solid language/character-set support in particular Japanese; let down in only one way - it won't open folders of files). Yes, it's a native Mac app. Highly recommended!
