What is a good text editor for using STATA for Mac?

For PCs, I think the clear winner is Notepad++. It has support for syntax highlighting (so commands, variable names, etc. show up in different colors.

However, I also use a mac and generally find myself using a default text editor for lack of better options. I imagine that emacs or vim could be configured for this to work on a mac, but I find those programs too cumbersome.

Gedit, a very nice notepad that can run on MAC and has optional syntax highlighting for STATA (second post here)
