List of macOS text editors and code editors

I thought TextMate was everyone's favourite. I haven't met a programmer using a Mac who is not using TextMate.

I haven't used it myself, but another free one that I've heard good thing about is Smultron.

In my own research on this, I found this interesting article: Faceoff: Which Is The Best Mac Text Editor Ever?

• Emacs
• Vim

But I use TextMate, and can say that it is, without a doubt, worth every penny I paid for it.
