Fraise is the new Smultron - a simple, free Mac text editor

Filed under: Text, Utilities, Macintosh

Remember Smultron? The no-frills Mac text editor with the distinctive strawberry icon got left behind when Snow Leopard was released, and (as Lifehacker notes) everyone thought it was a goner. Well, fret not, because Fraise is here to pick up where Smultron left off. Same lightweight text-editing abilities, same strawberry-themed icon, same free price.

Fraise has the snippets and color-coding that coders rely on, along with a beefed-up find and replace feature. Also, if you needed a language that Smultron just didn't have, you'll be glad to know that Fraise also adds more localizations. It's a worthy successor to Smultron, and it's right up there with other powerful free options like Textwrangler.
