i think the op is looking for text editors, not word processors
op: i think text wrangler is great for coding purposes
Has guessed. For win32 i just used the Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net) it's real powerful editor, but im looking for analog for Mac.
Ideas???
PS thx for advice about TextWrangler, let's look))
This thread has lots of suggestions.
I'll (join in and) recommend TextWrangler (accompanied by the FTP client Cyberduck if needed), both of them free, but also have to recommend Coda (with or without Transmit).
Coda is just gorgeous and comes with a 15 days trial (and that's 15 days of use, not 15 days since you started it the first time). Check it out. Well worth the money if you need a reliable web programming tool. (Is that what you want to use it for, by the way? Or do you have something else in mind?)

I use TextMate and Text Wrangler. All I can say is that TextMate doesn't have FTP and is very OLD. Hasn't been updated in awhile. Text Wrangler is basically BBEdit but without a few premium features.
BBedit is a must have if you code your own websites/CSS/PHP etc. Its excellent and while its not free its worth every penny.
