Could anyone please recommend their favourite text editor for the Macintosh.

I'd like an editor which is small and simple to use for novices but has a
few elementary features such as word-wrap and is generally suitable for 
editing TeX/LaTeX input or text-based, non-program ASCII text.

I have been using Sigma Edit but the version which I have does not support
word-wrap.  I'm using an old version (circa 1988) so perhaps a more recent 
version is available.  If so, I'd appreciate pointers to the right FTP site
or archive.

Thanks for any suggestions, 

Stephen Gilmore
