Hello,
I use a Machintosh and have been looking for THE best text editor. I use TextWragler and have looked into BBEdit. What do you guys recomend?

Well i'm using a PC, but I've seen some videos under mac
where the guy uses a highly nice and productive editor:
Textame
It's magic the features it have!

I would also go with Smultron. It's the best editor that I've found so far and it could syntax colour a lot of programing/scripting languages. Plus, it looks good.
You can download Smultron at http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/15114.

P.S. Believe me, I've tried a lot of text editors, such as TextWrangler, Nvu, Taco HTML Edit, CreaText, SubEthaEdit, SEEdit Mini...

I'm using TextWrangler now, which is BBEdit, but better.

I also used HyperEdit in the past, where you can see the output of your syntax direct in another part of the screen.

Thanks guys.
Right now I'm using Text Wrangler. I can't believe the price of BBEdit. I could never justify spending that much for a text editor.
But I like TW
