best torquescript editor for mac?

What's the best torquescript editor for a mac for use with Torque2D? A plain old text editor won't cut it for me. I need something more feature complete.

@John - Unfortunately there is not a real solid editor available. I typically use Xcode, but that does not provide syntax highlighting or debugging. Read this link for alternatives.

If you want to put some effort, there are ways to get Torsion to run on OS X. It will not have all the features you might need, but it is possible to package it with WineBottler and try remote debugging.

Thanks Michael. I'm trying to use tide. I didn't even think about WineBottler for Torsion.

Wow... I've used two on the mac that I prefer that I don't see in that list.

Emacs - you can setup your .emacs file to think .cs is a .c file and it mostly supports syntax highlighting.
TextEdit - this one costs $50 but you can point it to your projectFiles folder and tell it there's a project. All your files are available and you can use a similar "trick" with associating .cs to .c.
