Since nobody else mentioned it:

I use Eclipse/Aptana with PyDev, because I mostly deal with web  
projects and need to edit HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, XML, TeX etc. as  
well.
But Eclipse isn't really a typical Mac app, even if the feeling gets  
better.
On my old G4/400 it was unusable slow (like every Java app), on a G5  
or a newer Mac mini it runs well.

Otherwise I would have stayed with SPE (FYI: it includes the debugger  
Winpdb and the GUI builder wxGlade; I never used them).

Additionally I like TextWrangler for the lighter editing tasks, esp.  
because it starts really fast.
The easy way of switching encodings is just great! (Most editors can't  
do that at all, don't understand why.)
But it has some nasty mis-features (modal search dialog, Cmd-Shift-S  
is *not* "save as"...)


jEdit is Java-ugly; a lot of plugins don't work well on a Mac...
SciTE is X11 only.
Tried Komodo once but didn't like it.
I don't run EmacsOS (I don't need another operating system).
vi is good for remote jobs.


Greetlings from Lake Constance!
