Ok, a text editor doesn't do fonts, styling (underlines, italics, bold, etc). It just lets you write strings of words. Most will spell check. And usually word wrap.

No justification or centering either.

But it will have search and replace (often better than word processors for some sorts of things)

My current go-to is TextPad. One nice feature is that you not only can have multiple files open at the same time, but there's an option on the search and replace that will let you apply it not just to all of the current file, but all of the currently *open* files. This is great when you have (say) a bunch of chapters open and want to change a name in all of them.
