I'll put in a plug for jedit.  It's free, runs anywhere there's a java VM
available, and with the superabbrevs plug-in it can do a lot of the neat
tricks Textmate does.  It also has good macro support, and the syntax
highlighting for ruby, html, and javascript are all solid.

(caveat: I don't own a mac; I've only run jedit on KDE/linux so far)
(add'l caveat: it's not the peppiest editor I've used.  One of my machines
is a 500MHz PIII and it's a bit sluggish on that system (as is KDE as a
whole))

As far as Textmate goes, try that free 1 month usage, and see if you
don't buy it. Unlike every other editor I've used, it is very hard to
fluster the syntax highlighting in it. And if you're the type to dig
below the surface, the macro support etc is pretty powerful.
