TextEdit delivered with Mac OS X does ASCII text or .RTF/.RTFD/.DOC formatted files, but for ASCII text I like Bare Bones Software's (free) Text Wrangler. BB's higher end source code editor, BBEdit, is my favorite though as it has most of the HTML editing constructs I use built in as templates. For more complex formatted editing work, I'm now using Pages. It can output with high fidelity to PDF, Word, HTML, and RTF. Very easy to set up a fully formatted template document. Then you can open a copy, push your text and other graphics into it in a snap. Very consistent and flexible. I used it to create a catalog of work going into an art rental program last week for the first time: it took me about 20 minutes to figure it out and build a nice set of catalog pages. Prints beautifully too.
