Mac users may consider Fraise as an option since it have syntax for LUA. Fraise is an updated fork of faithful Smultron. It don't have auto-complete (for LUA) and other stuff like Textmate but it's free and awesome lightweight and NATIVE COCOA. I do my LOVE work there. http://www.fraiseapp.com/

It does look nice. I'll give it a good try. I've become too attached to TextWrangler though. If this can't do one thing I am used to in TW, I'd find myself going back.
Edit: Like not listing my functions. What the heck? It's LUA, it knows what a function is. But won't list them in the Functions menus. Well, back to TW I go. Stupidest oversight ever!

It's seems like usual attachment for Mac users to Textmate. I not really attached to any. One year ago experienced all and tested wich one was more suitable for something. Even in Windows I used 4 or 5 just to use what wich one better could offer. Well, Textwrangler didn't "won" the html/css badge and for usual text/all-round editor I considered it a bit geek fat (and lacking normal text features like spelling/correction as Fraise does). So I don't use but it's a nice free editor thought (and ugglier!).

Sorry for desapointing you, as I never really needed or used that feature in LOVE editing I never notice that bug (I think should be an incomplete lua support since it works with html/css and other coding). Matter of fact I think that feature is a bit too hidden to be used here. At least should have a proper space like this proposoal in Fraise website.

I've tried many text editors in mac and windows and i've alway gone back to textmate.
Except for html and css, I use Coda for that. And screenplays I use Celtx... And essays I use Pages...
But for all things coding TextMate is the way to go

Expresso and then Coda for web editing. TextMate failed for web editing since Zen Coding support is strange/incomplete there. For all-round and text editing the Fraise/Smultron it's enough for me. If I need rich-text editing I have OpenOffice. That are my choices for now.
Thx for refering Celtx. Could be nice for mockups.
