TextWrangler

TextWrangler is the “little brother” to BBEdit, a professional HTML and text editor for the Macintosh.

TextWrangler vs. BBEdit

TextWrangler is a very capable text editor. What sets BBEdit apart is its extensive professional feature set including Web authoring capabilities and software development tools.

How do I get TextWrangler?

Download TextWrangler here.

TextWrangler is a…

  • General Purpose Text Editor
  • Programmer’s Text Editor
  • Unix And Server Administrator’s Tool
  • Powerful Text Transformer And Manipulator
  • Good Mac OS Citizen
  • Powerfully Useful Tool
  • product developed in the best traditions of Bare Bones Software, with high performance, ease of use, a rich feature set, and the ability to read its own release notes.

TextWrangler 4.0 System Requirements

  • Mac OS X 10.6 or later (10.6.8, 10.7.3 or later recommended)
  • Intel Macs only

What about BBEdit Lite?

BBEdit Lite was discontinued a number of years ago, and the world has moved on. TextWrangler and BBEdit have capabilities that were never supported (or possible) in BBEdit Lite:

  • Run natively and at full speed on Macs with Intel processors;
  • Open files from (and save them to) remote FTP and SFTP servers;
  • Pattern matching (BBEdit's grep mode uses a PCRE version from 2003, so recent PCRE features are missing);
  • Support for editing Unicode text files, and converting between text encodings;
  • Find Differences to compare files or folders;
  • Integration with the Unix command-line environment;
  • Advanced and extensible programming language support, with code folding, syntax coloring, and extensibility;

…and much much more.
