Best Code Editor for Mac

What is the best code Editor for mac. Would need to support HTML, PHP, and Ruby on Rails. also nice if it had Auto code completion on it but not needed.

Sublime Text, http://www.sublimetext.com/, in my opinion is the best code editor available. It's not free, but it offers a ton of options and works very very well. The free trial actually lasts forever, you just have to dismiss the messages to purchase it from time to time.

As for free, TextWrangler is what I always used on Macs. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textwrangler/id404010395?mt=12

Hi Ty, this is a common question on the forum. If you like you can check out this question where I've included a list of code editors. Most of them are available on OS X. A lot of new front-end developers seem to like Brackets. I keep going back to Atom.
