I am new to mac, my question is what else text editors can be used to edit Objective-C code except xcode. And which one is the best for productively editing source code?

A: 

What text editors can't edit c code?

I'd recommend vim, emacs or textmate.

A: 

Emacs, obviously, tho' heretics will advise Vi(m).

Have you tried TextMate?

I just bought a macbook, and didn't try textmate yet:)

Download the trial, I'm sure you wont be disappointed. It has support for several other languages as well(ruby, python, javascript). May I ask why you want some other editor than xcode for objective-c?
jakob
I recommend TextMate too. It's pretty much the standard programmer's editor on the Mac, and it works fine with ObjC (and unlike Xcode, it can open multiple files in tabs ;).

I think it's not very good for navigation and typing in Xcode, so I want to know if I can try some other editors. I already tried textmate, it's really great. Thank you!
