As much as it pains me to admit after being a Mac-Zealot for so many years, here goes:  
I cannot seem to find a **really** good AS-editor for Mac OSX. I’d love to hear what you guys use as I’m severely in need of a good editor.

My complaints with the usual suspects:

[LIST]  
[_]BBEdit. I love BBEdit, but the “three colors only”-colorcoding and lack of codehinting++ makes this not really usable. I find myself switching back to the Flash IDE just to check out stuff, and that sort of defies the point.  
[_]SEPY. It might be me, but I find SEPY very buggy on OSX. I get weird system notices, and the fact that CMD-S/CMD-W doesn’t work like it’s supposed to systemwide makes this editor a pain in the \*_. A pity really as it’s close to the best I’ve seen.  
[]SCITEFlash… Windows only.  
[_]FlashDevelop… Same thing, no?[/LIST]So… I’m sure I’m not the only Flash developer on a mac? What do you guys use?
