TextWrangler is a powerful general purpose text editor. It's from Bare Bones Software, the publishers of the Mac universe's leading text editor, BBEdit - and unless your work would benefit from many of BBEdit's advanced and powerful features, TextWrangler may be all you need. Or, for that matter, TextWrangler may be the perfect way for you to start using the powers of a true text editor until you graduate to BBEdit.

TextWrangler features a clean and easy-to-use interface and a rich set of features for composing and manipulating text. It's ideal for coders and webmasters - in fact, it's helping us build this very website, MacLife.com. You can't beat the price, as well.

REQUIREMENTS: Mac OS 10.4 or later (TextWrangler 2.2.1)

REQUIREMENTS: Mac OS 10.3.5 through 10.3.9 (TextWrangler 2.1.3)
