[ale] Linux-like gui text editor for MacOS?

[Beddingfield, Allen]

Thanks for all the replies!  It looks like I can make MacVim do what I need.  I didn’t even know that existed.  I’m not really needing anything fancy.  Essentially, the functionality of gedit or of notepad in (blech) Windows with tabs.  The added bonus of already being “fluent” in vi/vim makes MacVim an attractive option, too.

Thanks!

The “TextEdit” that ships with the OS seems to maintain formatting (who thought it was a good idea to match the terminal background color when pasting from a terminal into the text editor?!) - and I want plain text only.  I usually open vim in a terminal window, paste into there, then paste back, but I know there is probably a better option.
