Notepad++ equivalent for Mac?

[Whaat]

Is there a free text editor for Mac that can highlight Ruby syntax similar to Notepad++ for PC?

Hope that helps. Did you get a Mac to test on?

Xcode is great, and should be included on your mac
You can find it in Macintosh HD, developer, applications.
I just started using it yesterday though . there are a lot of neat programs you can find in developer> applications, like core image funhouse (which has a LOT of useful filters and effects), and if most people are like me, they probably never notice them.

Another useful app in this category is "TextWrangler"http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler/
But "xCode" is hard to beat as it is made for the job and comes with every new Mac.
