No MacVim? If you are going to include Emacs you got to include vim!

I’m lucky to get coda from the beginning. it was only $79. And don’t need all of thoose apps. Coda is more than enough… :D

Also Bean

I can’t believe you didn’t feature Smultron. It’s free and quite awesome. I seldom feel the need for anything else.

Tried some of them, but still sticking with Coda, serves me well. I guess in a way when you’ve already shelled out 99 bucks you’d better make that money’s worth. :)

What about TACO?

This is kind of a open-ended post. After reading through the list, it’s apparent that when you say “text editor” you really meant a coding app that isn’t WYSIWYG. I don’t know anyone who would use any of these apps for every-day office word processing – which is “text editing” in its most simple and most used form.

However, if we’re talking about coding for apps and Web pages, then these apps are probably a LOT more popular. Coda in particular is excellent, as is BBEdit, etc.

For the other type of text editing, I like iWork’s Pages – much nicer/simpler than MS Word, and doesn’t take 3 weeks to launch like Word does (why does MS feel the need to “optimize my font menu” EVERY STINKING TIME I launch the app???)

I´m fully happy with my TextMate but thanks for the list :)

Coda is a perfect example of a well-design Mac application.

Aptana not up there it’s not that great but it’s ok. Coda is the best though

for simple and small projects I use Coda, while for the rest I use TextMate.. the only off that Coda has is no code folding..

I am using CotEditor – great for editing source code, different encodings etc.

Take a look at CotEditor

It’s something that I need for completing layouts in some magazines I prepare for our customers.

Know that this is an older post but thought it was worth a mention that UltraEdit has just been released today as a full Mac application. It is not just ported but written with Mac users and the interface in mind. Price is not bad at 69. I have been beta testing and although haven’t used it a lot do like it as it also allows you to use regular expression.

My choice for lightweight Word replacement is Bean. It may soon get tabbed document interface, which would make it unique in Mac environment.

Another KISS-type editor is OmmWriter.

Coming from the windows realm, I heavily relied upon IDM’s UltraEdit. It has a good feature set. Now that I am transitioning to the Mac, I was really looking for a replacement. Thankfully, though, IDM has released a version of UltraEdit for mac. Now my familiarity will not go to waste and I won’t lose any time in learning a new app’s nuances.

Smultron is developed by Peter Borg http://www.peterborgapps.com/ and is not (anymore) freeware — costs $4.99 on Mac AppStore.

While Smultron had been on a hiatus, an alternative named Fraise was actively developed. Though, now Smultron is back and Fraise’s development has stopped. Fraise is still available for free: http://www.fraiseapp.com/?lng=en

Been using Komodo Edit for Mac for some time. Started to crash so judging from here it seems I should try either TextMate or Coda. Thanks

Looking for free, easy to use text editor? I say Xcode or Dashcode does all I need. It comes with the mac osx developer tools cd or you could download it from Apple.

I like BBEdit, the best! I am using it coding PHP, CSS, HTML, works well.

+1 vim

No macvim = this list is incomplete…

If emacs is mentioned, you have to list MacVim (http://code.google.com/p/macvim/)!
I personally like the nice and clean interface of Tincta (http://mr-fridge.de/software/tincta/index.php)
