Thank you everybody that has added suggestions.


I thought TextMate was everyone's favourite. I haven't met a programmer using a Mac who is not using TextMate.


I haven't used it myself, but another free one that I've heard good thing about is Smultron.

In my own research on this, I found this interesting article: Faceoff: Which Is The Best Mac Text Editor Ever?


  • Emacs
  • Vim

But I use TextMate, and can say that it is, without a doubt, worth every penny I paid for it.


Sublime text is awesome (http://www.sublimetext.com/2). Excellent search features, very fast and lightweight. Very decent code completion.

I also use RubyMine and WebStorm a lot (http://www.jetbrains.com/). They are excellent but not all purpose like TextMate.
