Based on my experience as an OS X and Ubuntu user, I know the following text editors support MediaWiki syntax well, though you need to configure them to do so: Vim, Gedit, jEdit, TextMate, and Sublime Text 2 (the last isn't on the list on-wiki, but it supports TextMate plugins). Some of these will also grab a live article for you and let you edit it, though I wouldn't depend on that being easy to set up.
