When I was using macOS regularly, CotEditor was my go-to text editor before I learned Emacs. Compared to XCode, Netbeans, and Eclipse, it had a miniscule memory footprint (somewhere between 10 and 20 MB). It wasn't as fast as Sublime for some tasks, like regex search, but had built in syntax highlighting support for nearly every programming language still in use, and it was very easy to create your own themes, with an intuitive graphical interface for setting colors for different token types.
