TextMate is a general-purpose GUI text editor for Mac OS X, created by Allan Odgaard. It supports declarative customizations which are at once transparent and flexible. Like vi or emacs its users are mostly programmers, and many of its users publish the customizations they make. It's also used at least occasionally for screenwriting [2]. Notable features include tabs for open documents, recordable macros, folding sections and snippets, shell integration, and an extensible bundle system.
TextMate 1.5 won the Apple Design Award for best developer tool in 2006.
TextMate has several features which set it apart from other editors. Its customizable macros, commands, and snippets allow complex behavior to be automated, and its CSS-inspired scope system, unique among text editors, allows arbitrarily complex nested syntax highlighting.
TextMate has a large and active community of users, dozens of whom contribute to the (open-source) bundle subversion repository. The TextMate wiki has many hints and tips, feature suggestions, and links to external resources.

This application pretty much does it all! It is WAY more powerful than TextEdit, and has a lot of built-in macros and templates for your poison of choice! It works really well when writing code, in the way that it auto-indents and opens/closes parens, quotes and brackets. Unlike Vim, it is a true Cocoa app, so it is very slick on the mac! Too bad it is not cheap, but if you get used to it, it is well worth scaling the learning curve.
