Smultron - editor for programming

"Smultron is a free text editor for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 which is both easy to use and powerful. It is designed to not confuse newcomers nor disappoint advanced users. It has all the advantages of an Cocoa application and some of its features are tabs, line numbers, support for syntax colouring for many different languages, functions list, support for text encodings, snippets, a toolbar, a status bar, preview, split window, multi-document find and replace with regular expressions, possibility to show invisible characters, authenticated open and saves, command-line utility, full screen editing and running commands and scripts from within the application."

It supports coloring syntax for different languages, and a default one (says C++) so that it will able to work with Symbian C++ where many non .cpp files are in fact in C++ syntax. Also, one may create a new syntax definition to suit his needs.

This application is a must-have, because besides of its powerful feature, it's free after all!
