Best of Macworld. The FREE Stuff For Mac Users.
Yes, there are a few freebies. Here’s what I found that’s spongeworthy as I scoured the Mac lists.
FREE #1
Some Mac software is worth buying but no one does. So it is with BareBones Software. They’re the same folks who publish the excellent BBEdit (Tera uses it exclusively).
The guys at BareBones know text on the Mac. Some programmers and developers swear by it. It’s not free, though. The kid sister software, TextWrangler, is free.
BareBones released TextWrangler a few years ago, probably as a low end, entry level.... (excerpted).

TextWrangler is a great text editor. A lot of technical people use plain text editors to work on everything from html coding, system administration scripts, etc. We also use to use it for our writers and columnists to write their articles in for easy importing into Quark. If you don’t know you need a text editor you probably won’t ever need one. But if you are like me, you couldn’t live without it.
