The ?TextEdit? that ships with the OS seems to maintain formatting (who thought it was a good idea to match the terminal background color when pasting from a terminal into the text editor?!) - and I want plain text only. I usually open vim in a terminal window, paste into there, then paste back, but I know there is probably a better option.

TextEdit has a plain text mode. Format->Make Plain Text
I use Coda 2 but it's not free. It has icons across the top in lieu of
tabs.
Sublime Text is very popular. It's shareware and "dark themed".
