What is a good text editor for the cloud?

Hi everyone I am looking to do more work based in the cloud, so I have more flexibility and can use virtually any computer to do my work on. So, my question to you is what is a good text editor for the cloud?

I currently do my development on a mac using text mate. Is there anything remotely similar that anyone would recommend?

If you need to edit text files in a cloud service like DropBox, I've recently discovered Draft https://draftin.com/

It combines a clear interface focused on writing, MarkDown support for formatting and connections to Dropbox , Google Drive, Evernote and Box. Any change on the document is automatically saved back to the service it originated from. I wrote about it here http://bit.ly/g-draft

Mozilla has developed a unique app called skywriter that seems to do the trick. http://mozillalabs.com/skywriter/

Update I have since found the following.

  • Code Anywhere - https://codeanywhere.net/
  • Atom Write - http://www.atomwrite.com/
  • Koding - https://koding.com

All provide good solutions Code Anywhere is my favorite thus far.
