First though, in order to get around the silly "rich text" default setting, when you open your HTML file, select File -> Open and be sure to select "Ignore rich text commands" as below:

You'll then see all the HTML in your file. Note: be sure to save your HTML from Safari as Format -> Page Source instead of Format -> Web Archive. Web Archive won't open properly in TextEdit.
To set this permanently in TextEdit, go to Preferences -> Open and Save -> select "Ignore rich commands in HTML files" as below:

While I'm ranting, another pet peeve of mine is Grab's inability to save to a browser-readable image format like JPEG or PNG. To capture images from a Mac for this blog, I'm forced to use Grab to save a screen capture of a window to a TIFF file and then open up Preview to convert the TIFF to PNG. This is stupid.
6/30/2007 Update: Ok. My apologies Apple Developers. I'm stupid. I did not see this feature in Preview:

Done ranting.

For a Mac[-only] editor, you might also want to check out TextMate. I was tempted to buy a Mac just so I could use that editor (only half-kidding ;)
Thanks Seech,
I may try that. Also, I've been using Firebug recently. That program is great. Looking forward to posting a review of that soon.
By the way, the dog in your profile looks very familiar.

And I was a die-hard PC guy until I got this new MacBook Pro. Simply put: it just works. Very few hassles with drivers or softwares that don't work. Highly recommended.
