I use vim (http://www.vim.org), but I'm a unix user.  Other unix users 
use Emacs, which is equally arcane.. :-)  As far as native mac editors, 
Xcode's built-in editor doesn't seem too bad, and BBEdit does a  good 
job.  SubEthaEdit is very cool for collaborative environments, but 
unless that's of great benefit to you, the programming features 
probably need a bit more work before it should be used as a standalone 
editor.  There's also Alpha 
(http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~steffen/Alpha/AlphaX/), which is a great 
mac editor, extensible in TCL.
