All I can say is you and I are worlds apart with respect to what makes up "a simple and powerful text editor". From my perspective, I've yet to see any software that fills the bill of "word processor" that also fills the bill of "a simple powerful text editor". My idea of a powerful text editor on the Mac platform is BBEdit which is far different than MS Word. And given the command line tools provided by Barebones and Mathematica's ability to run system level commands, it is trivial for me to send text results from Mathematica to BBEdit to edit and then return the results back Mathematica.
