Which text editor on OS X

make sure to use “make plain text” option if using textedit, otherwise it can turn out to be a rich text document. I use pagespinner for all of my xhtml/php/css needs. search macupdate for it if interested…

if you have some money : BBEdit

TextMate: The Missing Editor for OS X($49 a fraction of BBedit). Although SubEthaEdit is a good one too, and free for none commercial use.
SubEthaEdit even let’s you type together in your scripts (over the internet), This together with iChat conference (talk to each other over the internet) it’s even a greater way to look at the same issue together.

Excellent, thanks for the help everyone. I downloaded SubEthaEdit and will see if that is enough for me before I look into the non-free options.
Thanks!

SubEthaEdit, there’s nothing better. https://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/

Another vote for SubEthaEdit…which is free for noncommercial use…and mar-vel-ous.

I have been using BBEdit for many years now and love it
I second that.
BBEdit is not free, but it’s really a very very powerfull tool.
