Text Editor for Mac's

[Volume]

I'm looking for a text editor for my Mac. Any suggestion?

 

[phillian]

I am pretty sure all Macs come with TextEdit, but I could be wrong.

A simple google search turns these up:
Bare Bones Software | TextWrangler
EditRocket Download
TextMate ? The Missing Editor for Mac OS X

I recommend this, however, if you're looking for a text editor for web development: Panic - Coda - One-Window Web Development for Mac OS X

Are MACs that bad? That you need to go on forums to ask for a good text editor? lol

i use textedit and for general text, textmate for html and the awesome awesome cssedit for, err, css (in realtime).

Text Wrangler is decent

TextEdit does come with the mac. You can also get free trials of Microsoft Word or, even better, Pages (thousand times better than Word).

Coda hands down.

no there's a lot of great options.

Pages by Apple is pretty good actually

Mariner Write: Mariner Software - Macintosh OS X Spreadsheet, Word Processor & Macintosh Office

MS Office/Word

Technical writing? Be hardcore and use LaTeX MacTeX - TeX Users Group

I use LaTeX for any kind of scientific or mathematical writing. Software is TeXShop - http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/

Shame MacHeist hasn't had 500,000 participants yet, Mariner would be unlocked for free download otherwise for the nanobundle the last few days:
MacHeist nanoBundle (19 hours left)

EDIT - MARINER IS UNLOCKED GO GET IT FREE!

I'm actually going to disagree with everyone else on the thread and say xPad.

xPad. The Ultimate Notepad.

Personally I think TextMate > xPad, but I'm also a coder so guess that makes sense.

It didn't take long in this thread to essentially see that you got a crapload of options for editors when it comes to the Mac.
