iPad Text Editors, Reviewed ⇥

Good reviews from Rui Carmo. He omits PlainText because it does not fulfill his Markdown support criteria, but it’s my editor of choice. I can’t preview Markdown in it, but it’s okay because I rarely use the more advanced features of it (I only really use links and block quotes).

Carmo recommends Textastic, which I find far too heavy for my needs. I don’t mind additional features that I’ll never use, provided they don’t impede the basics that I will. Alas, it’s much too complicated for my writing needs. It’s probably the closest we’ll get to Coda for iPad, for a while at least.
