TextWrangler: A full-featured (and now free) text editor

Another plus, especially for those who work with Terminal but who don't like using command-line text editors, is the Text Wrangler command-line tool. The program installs the tool, and you simply type:

edit [filename]
to open a file in Text Wrangler. This is similar to BBEdit's command-line tool.

TextWrangler: A full-featured (and now free) text editor
Authored by: garbanzito on Jan 27, '05 04:36:13PM

and it has a command-line diff, twdiff; i use the BBEdit/TW diff often (i own a BBEdit 6.5 list at home, but at work have to use whatever's free), but it isn't always right for what i want; it's good for analysis, but harder to just get a list of what is different, as i can with plain diff (which i might then pipe into TW for a few quick regexp transformations)

also, not mentioned yet, and an advantage over some other editors (including emacs and the old BBEdit Lite) is very good Unicode support
