TextWrangler: A full-featured (and now free) text editor
Authored by: caesurae on Jan 19, '05 12:38:32PM
Hmm...a free app from Bare Bones Software that includes syntax coloring, ftp/sftp support, as well as the other great BBEdit-like features...impressive! :o)

But just for the record...BBEdit Lite offers "Single- and multi-file search and replace" and also "Supports a bunch of BBEdit's plug-ins", both of which are listed as new features in the hint.

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

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply those were only 'new' features, just that they were useful features.

BBEdit Lite was great, but (as far as I know) it's no longer available, as TextWrangler took its spot.

Well, BBEdit Lite is still available on BareBones FTP server :

ftp://ftp.barebones.com/pub/freeware/BBEdit_Lite_612.smi.hqx

Exactly the same place where you can find TextWrangler.

But, I would recommand TW now as it's more up to date than BBEdit Lite which has not been updated for long and offers less features for the same price. And TW can use BBEdit compatible plugins as well...

About completions, why not try :
