I was about to say, before Joey got in first, I guess you mean TextWrangler...

Thanks for introducing me to it.

> What do you guys use?

I'd like to put in a mention for the Mac freeware app, Notational
Velocity (NV): http://notational.net/

An absolutely minimalist app, mouse-free if you like, but suits me
fine. I don't use it for code maintenance (I guess TextWrangler would
be better for that) but I do use it for bug-lists, to-do lists and
idioms. Also URLs -- I prefer it to Firefox's own bookmark facility. A
URL is automatically recognised and set in blue. Clicking on it opens
the page.

I used to keep a running daily journal using Notepad when I used
Windows heavily. Well, NV beats that! It's best at keeping a scrapbook
of random short notes (text-only), which you can browse via the
handiest keyword search I've met.
