CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jason Parker on September 23, 2009
If you don't quite need the sweeping feature set (and steeper price tag) of Bare Bones Software's BBEdit, TextWrangler is a free but still impressive alternative. This versatile text editor lacks the extensive Web-authoring capabilities of its big brother BBEdit, but TextWrangler delivers many useful text-wrangling capabilities above and beyond the basics like spell-checking and unlimited undo/redo. TextWrangler gives you robust search and replace (including across multiple files, or inside search results), a strong grep engine, good support for AppleScript, and the ability to integrate with Unix tools and scripts.
TextWrangler also comes with tons of developer-specific tools for multiple programming languages, such as syntax coloring (with the ability to create your own syntax-coloring modules), a differencing and merging function, and the ability to use TextWrangler as an external editor with Xcode. This app even lets you save directly to (and open from) FTP and SFTP--and that feature alone could make TextWrangler a must for many Unix and server admins.
