Can anyone recommend a good text editor for OS X? I do quite a bit of php coding, and need a good ASCII editor. Is BBEdit the best choice?

Isn't there a version of Emacs on OS X yet? Emacs kicks ass and it has the word 'mac' in it

can bbedit work with system files (i.e. .htaccess)? i find this a huge downfall with many text editors...
i mostly use pico within the terminal.. its a pain in the azz but it gets the job done.

yes it does work with those files... use "open hidden" or if you're connecting with bbedit's ftp client check the item thats say something like "show fils with dot in front"
i've used it many times with .htaccess files and have had no problems yet
