OpenOffice is a nice one, albeit slow if you dont have a lot of ram.
TextEdit is useful for most basic text editing.
SubEthaEdit is nice...so is Xcode (for code)
and of course you cant forget vi(m)/emacs/pico
I use TextEdit for most of my stuff.Originally posted by MongoTheGeek
Text Edit is good for a lot more than you would assume. I am not sure how well it handles tables though
I personally like Emacs.
I did, read above.Originally posted by ibookin'
I'm surprised no one has said SubEthaEdit (used to be called Hydra)...

One thing I don't like is how most Windows users dont know wtf a rich text file is. I doubt any Windows app can even open a .rtfd file too.
It's excellent for what it does, but for some of the more complex stuff its just not that good enough.
emacs lol. I personally prefer vi(m). ALthough I would understand why people like emacs...the commands are all on the bottom

Set the file extension to .rtf and WordPad, MS Word, WordPerfect, and WordPro can all handle a rich text format file.
