Would Word be an acceptable editor for programming? Reason I ask is I'm finally getting off my ass out of suggestions and requests and doing my own stuff now because I feel like I'm wasting people's times with my requests if they choose to do it.
Word isn't really good, because it isn't really made for a programming language, since its made particularly for web documents, and it usually "steroids" documents with ruler control, font faces, font sizes, etc.
TextEdit is much simpler since it doesn't use extra fluff like word does, not to mention it leaves plenty of room for customization.
