This might sound odd, but I find myself either using text based tools 
(emacs) or real Cocoa apps. Even if something like jedit has really 
nice features, it is the non-standard widgets, the weird non-OSX GUI 
annoyences, the bad integration with the rest of the system (what, no 
spel checker in the code editor?) that make me delete those apps pretty 
quickly :-)

TextMate shines in being a native app. I'll give it a bit more time to 
evaluate :-)
