1. TextWrangler is the powerful general purpose text editor, and Unix and server administrator's tool. Oh, and also, like the best things in life, it's free. TextWrangler is the 'little brother' to BBEdit, a leading professional HTML and text editor. General-purpose text editor; Programmer's text editor; Unix and server administrator's tool.
2. Later TextWrangler 2.0 was made available free of charge. In 2016, BBEdit 11.6 introduced a free mode that matched TextWrangler's feature set, and in 2017, Bare Bones sunsetted support and development for TextWrangler. A plain text editor like BBEdit.

Free

Like TextWrangler, BBEdit is free to download and use. There’s a set of advanced features that you can pay for — if you want to. But you’re not required to pay anything if TextWrangler has been doing the job for you.

When you start using BBEdit, there’s a 30-day period during which you can use all of BBEdit’s advanced features. When that period ends, BBEdit goes into “Free Mode”, in which it offers all of the features that TextWrangler had — and then some — at no charge.

No nagging!

If you decide to use BBEdit in Free Mode, we promise: no splash screens, no unsolicited interruptions. Ever. Just like TextWrangler.

Bare Bones TextWrangler is a free text editor primarily used to edit source code. It is now discontinued and has been replaced by BBEdit, which is also developed by Bare Bones.

TextWrangler provides many of the basic text editing features, such as spell check and find and replace functionality, but also features useful programming capabilities. The text editor offers syntax highlighting and function navigation for a variety of program languages, including HTML, PHP, JavaScript, XML, Perl, Python, C++, and Ruby. The program also provides 'Codeless Language Modules' for producing your own TextWrangler language modules and can function as an integrated external editor with Xcode.

While TextWrangler can be used for simply composing and editing plain-text files, it is geared towards users who need to read and write code, such as programmers and web designers. The text editor provides a variety of helpful features, a clean interface, and convenient integration with the macOS platform. However, since TextWrangler is now discontinued, you should try Bare Bones BBEdit instead.
