Mac Starter Kit. Bean Bean is a free, compact, easy-to-use text editor that occupies the middle ground between bare-bones apps like TextEdit and more full-featured (and more-expensive) word processors. Bean launches quickly and uses minimal resources, while giving you access to rich features such as live word count, page layout settings and in-line graphics, dictionary integration, word completion, plenty of import and export options, a search panel that can handle regular expressions, and an Inspector panel for making tweaks to text, format, and spacing.
Bean can't handle some specialized tasks, like footnotes and predefined styles, but this open-source editor gives you a lot of functionality at no cost--in a well-designed, pleasant-to-use interface. In the update to Snow Leopard, Bean now does automatic text substitution by default, but info on the Bean site will show you how to change that (and other) Snow-Leopard-specific tweaks. 4.5 stars Outstanding Overall score: 4.5 (4.5 stars) Read full review.
