BBEdit is 30 years old as a commercial product
Even the free version (formerly TextEdit IIRC) is very good.

TextWrangler. TextEdit is the editor built in to macOS.

And TextWrangler formerly was BBEdit Lite (

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!

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

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