TextWrangler. TextEdit is the editor built in to macOS.

And TextWrangler formerly was BBEdit Lite (

Something ironic about a "bare bones" editor getting a 'lite' edition.

And now there’s just BBEdit, which is free, but has some features turned off unless you pay. I use the free version, and it is powerful!

TextEdit is similarly old to BBEdit, just a little younger—- shipping with OPENSTEP in 1996.
