While mentioning "plain text" editing under Darwin, or for that matter under Aqua, its worth noting BBEdit addresses this nicely and cheaply. BBEdit from Barebones Software has long been the favoured programmer's and web designer's text editor of choice on the Mac. It now includes more features suitable for Unix-based work including starting BBEdit from the command-line, ftp access to files, the languages the text highlighting "understands" include Unix scripting languages (including shell scripts, perl, etc.), etc. I'm even editing files on my Linux box via BBEdit's ftp access!


I don't work for Barebones; these comments are my own.
