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".
