I come from a Windows background and recently switched to Mac at work. I'm a pretty heavy user of Notepad++ but so far all the good text editors I've found for Mac are shareware. What good free text editors do you recommend on Mac that have similar features, like syntax highlighting, auto-indent, and regular expression support?

I even tried Coda for a while, but I always prefer Notepad++
Hands down my favorite editor for Windows, but when I'm using it, I still wish I was using gedit or TextMate.
Try Sublime Text 2. It's fantastic (just like TextMate): http://www.sublimetext.com/2 It's free for now. Be sure to check Sublime package Manager. There are hundreds of Sublime extensions, many of which were ported directly from TextMate (and have .tmbundle suffix!): http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control List of packages: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/community#sort-installs
That said, it's a great editor.

As for me, it seems to take somewhat easy tasks and makes them more difficult. Installing packages was a head-scratcher at first, even with your guidance.
I'm just going to stick with Notepad++. It may not be pretty, but its straightforward and gets the job done.
I love Notepad++, but when I started using Sublime Text 2, I purchased it, and never looked back.
