I actually really like TextWrangler.

It's close enough to BBEdit I don't mind the missing features for it being free.

If you're looking for "1 window development" try Coda: http://www.panic.com/coda/

Otherwise I concur with what everyone else is saying.

VIM/Emacs if you're willing to learn--otherwise TextMate is supposed to be good.

The best solution however, is the one that you feel most comfortable in.

Try each one for 2 weeks and see what happens to your productivity.

Personally, TextMate does wierd things for me, so I prefer TextWrangler.

When I'm not on my Mac, VIM all the way.

I really want to give Emacs a good run but I can't switch my key bindings on this computer, and the Control+Alt keys are killer on my fingers.
