An HTML Designer
The Snippets plug-in allows you to easily insert frequently used HTML tags (such as h1, h2, p, a, etc.), templates, styles, scripts, and many other HTML elements. With the Snippets plug-in, you can use keyboard shortcuts such as CTRL + B to make the selected text highlighted (using the STRONG tag), CTRL + I as Italic (using the EM tag), etc. Zen-coding allows you to code HTML elements incredibly faster. The HTML Bar plug-in allows you to modify your HTML documents with familiar toolbar buttons. The Tooltip to show HTML/XML character references feature is useful...

A Programmer
The Projects plug-in shows the list of function and variable definitions in the current document or within a project. The Auto Marker feature allows you to highlight the same string as the function or variable names at the cursor. The Narrowing feature allows you to focus on a specified part of the document and protect other parts of the document. Multiple selection editing allows you to change variable names easily.

If You Need a Free Text Editor
If you need the best free text editor, the text editor might be right for you. While not at the same level as the app Professional, the app Free allows you to do most of the text editing tasks without purchasing the product.
